Suspect In Stolen NYPD Gun: Good Samaritan or Thief?

Yesterday, it was reported that one of two guns which had gone missing from the 103rd Precinct in the Queens later surfaced at a Brooklyn station house as part of the NYPD gun buyback program. It was ironic enough that police paid $100 for their own gun back—then yesterday, the man who returned the gun was arrested after he willingly and nonchalantly told police officers his story about selling the gun. But was he acting a good samaritan, a braggart, or a thief? more ›

Two Shootings on One Brooklyn Block Leave 1 Dead, 4 Injured

One man was killed and several injured in two separate shootings that occurred on the same block in East New York yesterday. 21-year-old Donovan Glen died after being shot in the head when some unwanted guests crashed a Friday night party on Atkins Avenue. Glen had an 18-month old daughter and was described by friends as someone who spent most of his time "at home, not on the street." 21-year-old Kendall Jones was also injured in the shooting at 2 a.m. Saturday. Ray Kelly told reporters, "It was a birthday party and going back to college party, and people tried to crash the party and that's where the trouble started." Then yesterday afternoon just down the block on Atkins, three more men were shot. All were injured with non-life threatening injuries and treated at Brookdale Hospital. A neighbor told the Daily News, "I think it was retaliation, but I don't know. It's like gunshot avenue over here." more ›
