From G on HW’s Everyblock site
“3rd in a week? Last night at 8:15pm, park full of kids. Middle of the block on Morningside Avenue between 116th and 117th. One man a kid hit twice and a stray bullet struck a bystander half a block away. Whats going on?”

Please call your state assemblyman Robert Rodriguez at 212-828-3953 to voice your concern over the increased violence. He is planning on meeting with concerned parents in the neighborhood. Inez Dicken’s (city council member #9) 212-678-4505 is also collecting letters and signatures of concerned citizens to try to increase PAL hours and gang prevention activities. Check out harlem4kids for more information on how you can help!!
Why wasn’t this on the news? I live accross the street from the park and had no idea. I heard about it from a local store owner. The third one in a week? When were the other two?
This is terrible and the everyday life in Harlem. I worry about my family members living in this once great community. I wonder what goes through the mind of our children. Then when they get snitched and or wrapped up!!! Then everyone is crying and the situation wasnt that serious now that person is going face 25 yrs for bull.
NO GUNS!!!!! Whatever happen to squaring up! and shaking on it after!!! Damn
Where in the Dickens is Inez? AWOL, that’s where. Don’t even bother asking for my vote at the next election, councilwoman.
Here is an article on the community response to the shootings.
