The man accused of fatally running over a successful film editor after robbing an Upper West Side drug store in January insists he wasn't behind the wheel. David McKie admits he saw editor Karen Schmeer try to jump out of the way of the speeding getaway car but claims he wasn't driving. According to the Daily News, McKie told cops just before the accident "he closed his eyes and heard breaking glass." McKie and two accomplices had just robbed over-the-counter allergy medicine from a local CVS, and ran several red lights before killing Schmeer. more ›

Authorities say that three men are responsible for at least six armed robberies in Brooklyn since April. Their M.O. appears to be two men entering and robbing a store while a third awaits in a black Ford Expedition. WABC 7 reports, "The robbers hit the Sarubia Grocery at 1266 East 37th twice, on April 6 and April 22"—getting money in the 4/22 robbery (a customer was also injured). They also robbed a grocery store at 6106 3rd Avenue in late April, and a man was shot in the shoulder. Most recently, on May 9, they robbed Blondie's Deli in Windsor Terrace. According to WCBS 2, "Two young men...jumped up on the counter and tried to open the cash register...The latest attempted robbery was thwarted however when the owner chased the suspects with a bat and a scuffle ensued. Investigators say one of the suspects returned with a gun but the men ran away without any cash." Police are asking people to contact CrimeStoppers (website or call 800-577-TIPS) with any information. more ›
