13-Year-Old Hit in Brooklyn Gunfire
Last night, Shariffe (also known as Lamont) Peebles was shot in the back and left arm. The 13-year-old had been walking home with friends near P.S. 298 when someone in another group opened fire on Glenmore Avenue in Brownsville--as many as five shots were heard. His mother told the Daily News her son didn't know his attackers and aunt Pam Harris said, "They shot him without a motive." Harris also told the Post that her nephew was trying to tell a man sitting on a bench to move from the fire, but the man didn't move quickly enough and the teen was shot. Shariffe is in stable condition at Brookdale University Hospital.
