Woman Fatally Shot Outside Her Bushwick Home

2009_03_gun.jpg A shootout in Bushwick yesterday afternoon left a woman dead—an innocent bystander who was watching her 8-year-old nephew play nearby. 44-year-old Jesselle Page was shot in the upper torso around 4:45 p.m. when two men began firng at one another as she was walking into her housing project on Moore Street. A neighbor told the News, "The blood was all over the floor." Page was rushed to Woodhull Hospital where she was pronounced dead. The Post reports that in nearby South Williamsburg yesterday another shooting at a children's birthday party at South Second and Havemeyer streets left a young mother injured.

For the last time, South 2nd Street is not "South Williamsburg." The original "downtown" of Williamsburg is where the bridge comes in and all the historic banks are. "South Williamsburg" is further south where the Hasidim live. Areas to the north are called "North Side" and "South Side."

Why not start calling the Bedford stop area "North Williamsburg" at this rate?

Maybe easier, just call it all Williamsburg.

Maybe easier to just call it Stupid Thugs Always Shooting Each Other and Innocent Bystanders-burg.
