It's not that we have a gun problem in this country. It's that bullshit like this makes it too easy for the anti-gun people to make their case. Note, however, that it was 'a large group of young people leaving Marcus Garvey Park' in Harlem at ten o'clock at night, and that the only cartridge casing found was (wait for it) from a .25 caliber automatic. "According to an Emergency Medical Services spokesman, the first shooting was reported to authorities at 10:14 p.m., with another at 10:17, two more at 10:19, and two more still at 10:24... There were several places where victims were picked up by paramedics, including at the intersections of Lenox Avenue and 126th, 129th, 130th and 131st Streets; at 131st Street and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard; and on 125th Street at the Adam Clayton Powell State Office Building. An 18-year-old man was either shot or stabbed in the back and was found lying on a bench at 125th and Lenox, the authorities said... A male victim with a gunshot wound to the chest was involved in an apparently unrelated shooting at 131st Street and Lenox Avenue, according to police. The other seven victims appeared to be in stable condition, the authorities said. They also said that all but one of the victims were male, one of them appeared to be 13 and another appeared to be 16. They said that they did not know what prompted the shootings, and had not captured anyone as of early Tuesday."
Rico says just a typical warm summer evening in Harlem, apparently...
