Other Local News

Friday, January 29th, 2010

While we had Det. Scotto online, here are a couple other local updates:

There was a fire at 1012 Ocean Avenue (at Newkirk) early this morning. No one was hurt, but one family has been relocated. That would explain the “huge amount of singed personal belongings as well as what could be described as a frozen waterfall on Newkirk due to the cold weather”, as one neighbor emails.

There was a shooting on East 19th Street by Tennis Court around 1 a.m. this morning. A guy was shot in leg, will live, did not know the shooter. Investigation ongoing.

    • Racism and Comic Book Readers September 8, 2010
      Are comic book readers generally racist? Is that why books starring diverse characters "sell less" (citation needed)?This article at Bleeding Cool begs the question.

    • RIP Glenn Shadix ("Otho" from Beetlejuice) September 8, 2010

Canada has many parks, wilderness preserve […]
