Bed Stuy Shooting Leaves 2 Dead, 1 Injured

2009_02_bedstush.jpg Last night, two people were fatally shot in the head while a third was injured in a shooting on inside a home Van Buren Street in Bedford Stuyvesant. According to the AP, "A 16-year-old girl and a 53-year-old man" were killed while a 22-year-old man was wounded in the hand. The Daily News describes a Bed-Stuy shooting (probably the same one because the addresses are close) but says that two men were killing on the street and that an injured person ran into a building. Police are asking the public for tips, call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS or text CRIMES (274637) with information.
