An NYPD officer left his command post in South Jamaica to break up a brawl that started in a laundromat on Guy R. Brewer Boulevard last night. As he and other cops then returned to their post, the officer was reportedly hit in the cheek by a paintball shot from the windows of the Baisley Park Houses, according to officers. Take that, pigs! The officer suffered minor injuries (those things do sting), and is in stable condition, and is now presumably out until the next round. more ›

In what doesn't seem like the brightest idea in urban planning, a Staten Island prison may be located too close to a facility where combatants pay a fee to simulate wartime conditions and chase each other around while shooting guns at one another—paintball guns that is. Now a prisoner at Arthur Kill Correctional Facility is suing the paintball facility for $3 million after he claims one splattery orange bullet sailed out of the paintball complex, over the wall of the prison and nailed him in the face while he was playing basketball. A medical report says that Steve McMillan's left eye was swollen and he complained of blurred vision, that "his hands, face and clothes were splattered with orange paint although none, apparently, was in his eye." But the owner of the paintball center told the SI Advance, "My gut instinct is it sounds like a fraudulent case. I don't think the [paint]balls can go that far." The paper also reports his claims that "the paintball fields are encased in woods, while the prison basketball court doesn't abut the fence alongside his center." more ›

Three New Jersey residents were hit and one badly injured when a car drove by their porch and fired frozen paintballs at them. The police say suspects in the attack are from Wayne County High School and speculate that this may be part of an initiation ritual before their senior year. Thomas Kaminski was in the hospital for three days after being hit right in the head, but seemed unsure of what to do with the teens who left him with a sizable welt. "On the one hand I do not want those kids thrown in jail because it's going to make them more violent, more criminal. On the other hand, I don't want it to just go away. They should be punished," Kaminski said. more ›
