"Everybody here is scared now," downtown bodega worker Primo Dlmn from Morocco tells the Times. "I’m as nervous as I can be, but I’ve got to go to the store. Life goes on." Or does it? A sniper with a high-power BB gun has been terrorizing Avenue D between Third and Fourth Streets during the past week, lodging pellets in a construction worker's skull, shattering car windows, and wounding six others. Now the NYPD says there have been other BB gun shootings in the area, and it looks like there may be some sort of teen pellet gun gang. How street is that? Local mailman James Heckstall says, 'It used to be terrible around here, the Wild West...The neighborhood is getting nicer and nicer. Then, every once in a while, something like this happens, and it makes us look bad." And then someone shoots their eye out.

Gotta agree with the last quote, when you consider what Avenue D used to stand for.
Stuff like this is frightening as you never know if it is a "soft test" for a more serious set of attacks. Pop away with a pellet rifle for a few weeks to see how the police respond, while you learn the in's and out's of it yourself. Then you bring out the silenced sniper rifle and do it for real.
