Three Queens women are suing the city for $120,000, claiming cops left a mess of blood and bodily fluid in their driveways and walkways. In 2008 the neighborhood was flooded with sirens and lights when 31-year-old Sheldon Francis was shot dead. Officers told frightened residents to stay inside, and said they’d be back to deal with the cleanup, the suit alleges. But not only did they not return, claim the women, they provided no instruction on how to clean the bloody pavement. Grace Scott was haunted by the damned spots which she scrubbed with peroxide and finally got rid of by paying $4000 to replace the concrete. "I don't know how to clean up blood," the 56-year-old lamented, according to the Post. "It was embedded." The NYPD says crime-scene cleanup isn’t its job. more ›

A reader sent us this email about a shooting that occurred around midnight in Brooklyn:

Just wanted to point out that there was a shooting last night at the bus depot at Broadway and Havemeyer in Williamsburg, -and that the investigation seems to be over, but the guy's hat, a big puddle of blood and teeth, many rubber gloves, gauze, a sterile water container, et cetera are still down there, for people to step in. I called the 90th Precinct but they said "maybe it's sanitation's job". Aren't these things usually cleaned up?"
