What appeared to be a calm exchange among a group of four men on a boat at the Brooklyn Marina Saturday afternoon turned deadly when one of them took a gun out of his backpack and opened fire. The Post says that the men were fighting over a jet ski while standing along the Venice Marina in Sheepshead Bay, but witnesses say none of the men had even raised their voices before the shots rang out. A police source told the News, "It was low-key, like they were just shooting the breeze." The gunman first shot and wounded 37-year-old Michael Mazzara, an ex-con who has been nabbed on weapons and robbery charges. The shooter then waited out 33-year-old Paul Moghab, who dove in the water when he saw the gun. When Moghab came up for air, the gunman fatally shot hit him in the chest. Mazzara remains in critical condition after being shot in the face. The fourth man apparently hid on the boat during the incident and was unharmed. Police are looking for the shooter, who fled across the Belt Parkway, and is described as a white man in his 30s, wearing a light-colored shirt and camouflage shorts.





uh - this might be bigger than a jet ski.
I would not be surprised they shoot each other for less:(
So diving into the water to avoid gunfire doesn't work like it does in the movies?
yes it does. I seened it on mythbusters.
It does until you come up for air...
That must've been a helluva thing for Moghab when he popped up for air and the guy unloaded on him. "Ah, there you are...kablam!" I wonder if he tried to swim away underwater first.
you can protect yourself from a bullet by diving underwater. If the shooter were directly overhead, you would probably be safe from most guns at 8 ft. At a 30 degree angle, you would only have to be 3 ft underwater to be safe as the bullets will disintegrate even high powered rifles. Water >>>> Bullets.
OrcaFAIL
If the shooter ran across the Belt Parkway there then the horseshoe crabs probably got him. Call off the search.
Jet ski ? ?
Relax, its just a greeting ritual for the Russian Mafia.
