Two Shot Outside Staten Island T.G.I. Friday's

Around 10:30 p.m. last night, two friends who were smoking outside the T.G.I. Friday's at the Staten Island Mall in New Springville were shot--the Staten Island Advance reports that Sean Dooley was shot 6 times while Zachariah Gray was shot once (a third friend was not injured). Police believe Dooley and Gray were shot in a case of mistaken identity; WABC 7 reports the "shooters were involved in an argument in the parking lot - when the victims walked by" - and "believed the victims were involved with the other party in the dispute." Both men are expected to survive and police are looking for "two or three men who sped toward Richmond Avenue in an older model white Jeep Cherokee with gray body trim" as well as two women who sped away in a Kia Spectra.

Did they try the Cajun Battered Thai Steak Tenders with a zesty Coconut Ranch dipping sauce before they were shot?

Staten Island? Isn't that in Central America?

The problem is colored people can't tell white people apart.

Isn't the SI mall white? then I blame Bush.

Yup he took it like a man. I'd say he should make his own rap album, but 50 cent was shot a total of 9 times, giving him substantially more props.

I cannot resist...

Welcome to Barack HUSSEIN Obama's Amerikka.

I beat HUGO_MEGO to the punch.

I am amazed the guy who was shot 6 times is still able to sit upright-that is gangsta

Boogie nights!!!

They should sue Bloomberg. His anti-smoking laws forced these guys to go outside for a smoke where they were shot. There have been far more absurd lawsuits.

Wow, sucky case of mistaken identity.

nothing says gangsta like a shooting outside a TGI Fridays.

BTW, the cops don't think it was racially motivated even though the shooter said "white boy"? Rev Al would be marching if it was the other way around.
