Three Injured In Bronx Shooting
Terrible: Three people were shot when gunmen opened fire in a Bronx store, near East Fordham Road, and it seems that at least one of the victims was a bystander. WABC 7 says the shooting started outside, with two people working inside the florist getting wounded, while the Daily News reports the shooting occurred inside "when the gunman barged in around 6:15 p.m." The store owner's wife was hit in the leg, while a 47-year-old and 25-year-old were also hit. The News adds, "Investigators believe the 25-year-old was the gunman's intended target, a police source said. It was unclear if the two male victims knew each other." No arrests have been made; all victims are in stable condition.
Thanksgiving In The Time Of Swine Flu
This Thanksgiving, the CDC has been concerned that the H1N1 virus may spread further, what with holiday-related travel. The CDC's Dr. Beth Bell said, "It's important to remember the things that everybody can do to stay healthy," as in not traveling if you're sick, washing your hands frequently, and covering your sneezes and coughs—not to mention getting the vaccine. But what about coughing relatives already parked in your home? Long Island College Hospital's Dr. Clifford Bassett tells WCBS 2, "Without causing a political crisis within your family, you really want to quarantine anybody that's ill from an area where the people are congregating. If someone is ill, keep them away from the food preparation area - that's very important."
