Just after midnight, four people were shot at West 11th Street near 7th Avenue. At this point, all the police know is that none are likely to die. We'll check in later to see if there are any more details, but in the meantime, does anyone who was in the area know what happened? Update, 11/2: The NYPD had a couple more details this morning—the four victims were black males, shot in the legs and arms (no ages). No arrests have been made.





I heard 4 people were shot.
Wow! Given that it was Halloween there should have been a ton of people in the street in that neighborhood (read, "witnesses"). Did this happen indoors? Are the four people related to each other or random victims?
All of this has happened before, and it will happen again.

at least they were shot real close to St Vincents
haHahaHahahahaha!
Is that a good or bad?
Yes, 11th street and 7th avenue would be directly infront of St. Vincents.
Never ever go to the West Village on a Friday or Saturday night.
Still no details? Finding zero online.
Just what is it about this area - is it the bridge and tunnel crowd?
it's either 'entitled' b&t or a distraught gay man taking out revenge on his now-x's new boyfriend.
Manhattan's a dangerous place. Makes me glad I live in Crown Heights!
Gang initiation? I did have someone ask me if I had any Snickers in my trick or treat bag.
I think the word on the street was if you had Almond Joys, that's the sign.
Highly unlikely since the Halloween parade's route goes nowhere near B'way
13,
you have no idea what you're talking about.
"word on the street" - who are you kidding? you were showered and pj'd by 10.
sir, I was being facetious. see brooklyn heights gang post.
and who uses the term "word on the street" besides huggy bear? that should have been your first tip off.
This is a hoax, nobody was shot.
It was no hoax: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2009/11/02/2009-11-02_bullets_fly_in_village_4_hurt.html

i live across the street and talked to the cops during the scene investigation on sunday morning. they said they were almost positive it was gang affiliated and that the victims held their bullet wounds and walked themselves to the hospital.
