Lower East Side Shooting

2009_05_lesshoot2.jpg Around 4:30 p.m., a shooting was reported on East Houston near Clinton Street. According to police radio, two men fled the scene and one of the perps went into a building on Clinton. We received two tips from readers: "Shooting on Clinton St. - block between Houston and Stanton shut down. Residents can't enter their apartments" and "Gun shot through the window of banco popular on Houston & D. Swat teams moving in, dogs, crazy!"

I was in my living room when I heard what turned out to be the three shots.

Then I heard a helicopter circling non-stop around my apartment.

I was just trying to study, so it was pretty annoying.

Then I went outside to join the people, a fellow person myself, and chatted them up and saw all the cops, cop cars, broken glass, and a possible perp getting handcuffed and driven away.

great, right next to my kid's school!

Any description of these gun toting perps?
