Old Timers, or the Good with the Bad
There was a shooting in the park across the street last night. It apparently occurred during the Old Timers party, which the New York Times profiled in 2006. I just learned Old Timers is a reunion of past and present residents of the Red Hook Houses. Similar celebrations occur in projects all over the City.
I’m not sure how to track down blotter for specifics, but I think the shots were fired around 10pm last night. My friends were hanging out on our stoop and said people just scattered. I biked past some cops this afternoon and chatted with them. They said there had been only a few NYPD Auxiliary patrolling at the time. They also said a wounded man drove himself to the hospital and is expected to survive.
