Mass shooting at New York Restaurant

3 dead, 9 injured in early morning mass shooting at New York restaurant

Three people were killed and nine others wounded when up to four gunmen opened fire inside a New York City restaurant in Brooklyn early Sunday following a dispute at the crowded venue.

Police responded to multiple 911 calls at around 3.27 am local time (0727GMT) about a shooting at the Taste of the City Lounge on Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights, New York Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a media briefing.

"Officers arrived within minutes of the first 911 call and found numerous gunshot victims inside the location," Tisch told the media.

So as the easiest mark ever - an old man bent over a walker, I walk my dog before dawn. I wish all the women and men walking alone un buen día, and after almost 2 years of sane, gun sh*t is hard to watch/think about because it can be NOT A THING.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

What do you expect in a country where 70 million people vote for a piece of shit an actual living piece of shit.

Australians don’t know what they’re doing, Monday mass shooting, Tuesday law outlawing all guns and they’re all turned in and they’re all gone no more mass shootings, almost that quickly and completely.

What were people in a Crown Heights club doing with guns shooting each other early in the morning?

Didn't they know that carrying guns was illegal in NYC?
