More Shooting in Vinegar Hill?
July 28th, 2011
Following last week’s incident, we received a few emails from residents on Gold Street and on York Street that there were more gunshots at Farragut Homes last night. According to one emailer, they “heard around 30 gunshots over at Farragut last night around 1:40am last night.”
According to SpotCrime, there was a shooting on Jul 18 (which is consistent with last week’s post), but does not show anything from last night:
The Gothamist map also does not show an incident. Did anyone else hear this? If so, please call the 84th Precinct (718-875-6811) or 311.

Thirty gunshots? Did they also hear the tooth fairy and a unicorn rapping on their window, too?

No, they were gunshots. We just talked to the police about it.

Several people called it in. Unfortunately it was shots and the police said to be on the lookout for groups of kids at Farragut.
