But he left the bottle of ammonia behind in the store, providing investigators with a crucial fingerprint. Yesterday Supreme Court jurors began hearing evidence against Jamal Winter, who's charged with murdering beloved shop owner Kyong-Sook Woo, a 62-year-old grandmother, on May 15, 2008.

Not too long ago a reader sent in this photo of weapons being sold from behind the counter of Williamsburg's Eden Pizza, located just off Bedford on North 7th. The reader told us: "I was rather pissed off too see this display of knives and brass knuckles for sale in my neighborhood at a local pizza joint." The establishment gets a 3.5 on Yelp, with mentions of a sweet staff, so it's likely they're not going to slice you up when you order up your slice—but still, this can't be legal.
