Shooting Response Tomorrow

Last night a youth was shot and killed on Park Place near Troy Avenue. This is the second tragic shooting this week. It is critical that we work together to keep our summer safe for everyone.  Come out tomorrow, Friday, June 3rd at 6pm for a shooting response at Park Place and Troy Ave. Help us end shootings and killings in our community.

There has been a shooting

The Crown Heights community recently went forty (40) days without a single shooting inside the S.O.S. catchment area (Eastern Parkway to Atlantic, Kingston to Utica).  Neighborhood residents can always stop and look at the sandwich board in front of our office on Kingston Avenue to see how many days we have gone.  Unfortunately, that number is back down to three (3) as of today.

Early Sunday morning this past Memorial Day weekend, May 30, 2011, a person was shot and killed around 1650 Pacific Street (between Troy Avenue and  Schenectady Avenue).
