Three shootings happened in the area within four days this week — sending one man to the hospital, damaging parked cars and leading to an hour-long suspect search involving an NYPD helicopter, police said.
The most recent shooting occurred Monday night near the corner of Bedford Avenue and Carroll Street in Crown Heights, where officers from the 71st Precinct responded to reports of shots fired by suspects on bicycles.
There were no injuries in the incident, but police searched the area with the help of a helicopter, which circled the neighborhood for about an hour, police said.
Three teens were questioned in the shooting, sources said, and a gun was found inside a backpack in the driveway of a Sullivan Place home near Dodger Playground, but no arrests have been made. Investigators believe the incident was gang-related.
No one was injured in the June 8 shooting, though two cars parked on Bedford Avenue — a Mercedes sedan and a Ford Taurus — were damaged by bullets, officials said.
Previously, on Saturday, June 6, a 24-year-old man was shot in the butt and leg by a male suspect as he was walking home around 1 a.m. on Bedford Avenue just south of President Street, police said.
He was treated at Kings County Hospital and released, officials said. It’s unclear if the victim knew his attacker and no arrests have yet been made.
More shots were fired on June 5 on Carroll Street near Washington Avenue, police said.
A resident of a nearby apartment building told police he heard multiple shots at about 7:20 p.m. He said he saw a man on Carroll Street shooting a black handgun toward Washington Avenue. The suspect fled north on the avenue and has not yet been identified, police said.
There were no injuries in that incident, police said.
The shliach in Marine Park is R’ Yossi Vigler
the Rebbe urged residence to stay in Crown Heights back in the 60’s and 70’s when things were much much much worse
Marine park is a beautiful neighborhood and it’s a great place for young families to move to. The homes are still affordable and you get a real bang for your buck. The area is super clean and right near a gorgeous park and water. The local chabad rabbi is rabbi hendel on nostrand avenue
I say we go back to east flatbush and marine park
Yes, this needs to be publicized to encourage people to see the writing on the wall and to leave! Things have been getting progressively worse for decades, and there is no basis on which to assume that things will suddenly get better. We left Lubavitch, we left Rostov, we left Riga, we left Warsaw … stop romanticizing Crown Heights and look for the exit.
If the government wanted to get rid of most crime they would. There is no desire to do this. The government stopped the invasion of the Japanese mainland: Hiroshim & Nagasaki. The govt. wanted to create ‘The Panama Canal,’ involving disease & death — they did it…etc.
The criminal justice system LOVES this crime: Hire more police, build more jails, more schooling, more uniforms, paper work, etc.
police not visible because they were too busy writing tickets instead of patrolling.
your wrong about the times a few deadly stabbings during the day!!!
When more yuppies move east pass Utica Ave. then you will see some change. For right now they like Franklin and Norstrand ave.
BH these shooting happend not where yidden live ,
and Time 1-3 AM we need Moshiach now
The police are not visible at all , where is leadership
Where is Crown Heights community council on this , we need elections NOW
maybe this will all be a blessing… prices of the homes will go down, and then we would run in and purchase a lot of buildings and houses, yuppies run back to the hills, Zait gezund un shtark.
It must be over 80 degrees. The thugs cant stay in their buildings, it’s too hot. Now they are on the streets letting out 6 months worth of boredom.
I hope the yuppies can adjust to the lifestyle
Don’t think it’s right to publish this news on our websites. There’s no point in giving women and children hysteria, there’s absolutely nothing gained.
welcome to the de blasio era or should I say DINKINS II, Yidden I hope you learnt your lesson from 1991 and got armed.
