Police shooting…
This is going on right now, in our neighborhood. We can still hear the helicopters circling.
A block radius around Sullivan and Bleeker is closed off. Apparently there was a robbery attempt at Sullivan and Bleeker, shots were fired, one cop was shot in the head. Walking home from dinner we just heard people saying “rat-a-tat-tat-tat”, which everyone heard. We caught the reporter from the CW11 doing a live update:
I just caught the tail end of the CW11 report, the shooting actually
happened at DeMarco’s pizza, which is at Sullivan and Houston. This
all sounds weird: who robs a pizza joint, in one of the most popular
neighborhoods in NYC, at 9pm? Still its scary to think this happened
right down the street.

woah.
Oh, wow. Sounds like the robber might have been someone who acted out of desperation. I’m no criminal, but you’d think it’s common sense to lessen your risk of getting caught or injured or killed while you execute a robbery by picking the down time at an establishment in a less popular neighborhood.
yikes, don’t tell mom about this.
Okay, just glanced at the article. It sounds like a crime of passion. Shooting that employee 15 times.
Owwwch.
Hope no one was hurt.
VERRRRRY scary.
Wow, that’s crazy. I’m glad you guys are OK!
well… reading more closely now, I guess being shot in the head and being shot 15 times WOULD constitute being hurt!
(feeling stupid now…)
Yea it’s crazy 4 cops injured or killed in the past 3 days.
Probably a hit gone wrong but that’s just horrible.
I got the feeling that it was more likely to be a disgruntled employee situation. I think the shooter used to work at the pizzeria in question.
holy crap!!!!
A meth lab was busted behind my house, once. SWAT came in and everything.
