Two Shot In Jamaica Double Homicide

Two men were found shot and killed on Thursday in a Queens basement in what investigators believe was a double homicide. The victims — who were not immediately identified — were both shot multiple times in the head at around noon near the corner of 111th Avenue and 156th Street, according to NY1. Neighbors were shocked by the slayings, which took place on a block that one passerby called "quiet." "Double homicide? Ain't nothing really happen around here. I've been over here working at this church for eight years. Ain't no killings over here."

DeadHimmler and Earthdog really need to just crawl in a corner somewhere. Perhaps, these were two people YOU didn't know about. However, that does not mean they are not human beings with valuable lives that were lost.

I suppose you expect the whole world to feel sorry for YOU both when YOUR times come.

It's sad that something like this happens and my heart goes out to them both.

Before anyone begins "comment combat" I just want to say that the two gentlemen will truly be missed.

This is personal to me.

R.I.P.

It should not be a surprise that someone with command of the English language can grieve for someone shot in SOUTHSIDE. People from there are capable of speaking English.
