Wave of Shootings Accompanies NYC Heat WaveNEW YORK (AP) -- New York City police are investigating a wave of gun violence that coincided with the early spring heat wave.
Fourteen people were shot in eight incidents over the weekend.
In Harlem, a 13-year-old boy was shot in the head as hundreds of teens gathered on a corner at around 1:20 a.m. Sunday. Two others, including a correction officer, were hit in the legs and expected to recover.
In The Bronx, a man was shot in the head and listed in critical condition. Another man was shot four times in The Bronx and isn't expected to survive. Another Bronx man died after he apparently was shot accidentally while handling a gun on the street.
Eight other people, including four under 18, were shot in The Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens.
But Mayor Bloomberg would like to remind you that crime is down.

Who lets a 13 yr old out at 1:20am to hang in a corner in Harlem?

Of course, the logical question is: Where are these young lads' fathers? I think we all know the depressing answer to that question.
And still there is no money for a January police academy.. and if there is it will be a mere 250 officers.. is there even a July one?
Its gonna feel like 1991 all over again..I CAN"T WAIT!
I'm glad i'm retired.Still have a gun and a vest........How 'bout you? THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!P.S good luck to the young urban pioneers living in those fringe neighborhoods.............the savages really don't like you. hahahahahahahahaha
ah.. the new "Rites of Spring"...
c'mon man...its just humanity evolving....
This has been going on all along. Someone just forgot to keep it out of the paper.
Don't forget the Mayor said "They don't read the Wall Street Journal"
Also the 112 refusing to make reports again. No reports - no crime.
If an employee of the police dept refuses to take a report.........call 1800pridepd with the employees i.d.
Crime may be down in hizzoner's east side hood.
A single shooting is, indeed, a tragedy.
But Mayor Bum-turd has been responsible for many more deaths.
He's allowed hospitals and firehouse to be closed under his watch. And response time for vital services have diminished too!
You might say, in a way, that he's a serial killer!
