People Wait For Tomorrow's UWS Apple Store Opening
The home of an acting Supreme Court Justice currently hearing domestic violence cases was hit by gunfire early yesterday morning. Bullets hit the dining room wall and an upstairs bedroom wall at Justice Fernando Camacho's Springfield Gardens house. He and his family were in Montauk at the time of the shooting; they actually sold the house but were awaiting bank approval of the buyers. The police are investigating whether the gunfire was meant for the judge or perhaps his neighbor, who was in a dispute with someone else. Camacho was previously a Manhattan prosecutor who, per the NY Times, helped bring down "such notorious gangs as the Jheri Curls, from Washington Heights, and the Wild Cowboys."

If I were the purchaser of this house, I would think twice about closing on this deal.
Wait. There was a gang called the Jheri Curls?
Kurteye,
Sure, you can google them and learn that the Jheri Curls consolidated their power after winning a gang war against the Soul Glo's, based out of Queens.
the jheri curls? HAHA
boy is that gay
the wild cowboys? HAHA
that is also quite gay
The Pink Panthers is a gay gang name...
Jheri Curls and Wild Cowboys aren't gay...just pathetic.
@Rocknrope:
I don't need to Google anything to know that's the gayest gang name ever. I have this mental image of marauding hairdressers...
fakenewyorker, I also support that you're a fake heterosexual.

bobby is also quite a gay name
everyone who is publicly opining that the wild cowboys and the jheri curls sound "gay" should be very thankful that most of those guys are dead, in jail or hiding out in the DR. if this was back in the day they would hunted you down and made sure you could never leave a snarky comment on gothamist again!
At first the secret drug compartment seemed like a good idea but I guess its not so good to have a secret system require you to turn on your lights and depress the brake pedal.
This whole "shots fired at judge's house" story is gay.
