Shooting Followed Argument Inside Cozy Soup 'n' Burger

2009_02_cozyshoot.jpg More details have emerged about yesterday morning's shooting outside the Cozy Soup 'n' Burger restaurant on Broadway at Astor Place in Greenwich Village. According to the Daily News, a fight started inside the restaurant, which was "packed with customers" around 4 a.m.

Apparently a group of men came into the restaurant and taunted Omar Ramnarine and his friends. The News reports, "Moments after staffers tossed out the disruptive customers, one man pulled out a gun and fired several shots. One hit Ramnarine at point-blank range." 1010WINS adds that Ramnarine was shot in the neck, " Apparently, the victim ran from the scene of the shooting leaving a trail of blood all the way to 4th Avenue." He is in critical but stable condition at Bellevue.

Police are still looking for suspects and believe the shooting could be gang-related.

Nothing good ever happens at 4am.

Except the omlettes and the waffles.

And people complain that there are too many NYU kids in the neighborhood. At least they're not shooting each other in the neck. Friggin drunk animals.

Is Omar Ramnarine not a student at NYU grabbing a late night snack after cramming for mid term exams?

Midterms are a month away. he was obviously unhappy about the reading list.

This place is called the Cozy Soup 'N' Burger, not the Cozy 'N' Soup Burger. Jeeze.

is this the gang that couldn't shoot straight? Any description of the perps?

Lots of great things go on at 4am--- but a couple of rotten apples can poison any venue. That doesn't make the place, the street, or the nabe, bad in any way.
A 4am shooting could have happened at your Aunt Martha's house.

btw, weazy, you sound like a racist--
--not unusual for this site, tho'
