Bed-Stuy protest over Laquan Nelson shooting
FDNY records show quick response after deadly shooting
Some Bedford-Stuyvesant residents are demanding an investigation into what they claim was a delayed response following the deadly shooting of 16-year-old Laquan Nelson, on Classon Avenue on June 2.
Brooklyn’s Rev. Dr. Herbert Daughtry, national leader of The House of the Lord Churches, said in a statement on Thursday that some community members said that “medical attention was delayed as police stood idly by,” and that Emergency Medical Services were slow in coming.
FDNY records show EMS units arriving just minutes after receiving the initial call, with the victim delivered to Brooklyn Hospital Center ten minutes after that.
