Recent gunfire incidents in Downtown Brooklyn spotlights concentrated court system
Gang members from other neighborhoods stash guns, cause havoc on way to court
On a workday, from the 30th floor of 16 Court St., the editorial staff at the Brooklyn Eagle ran to the window overlooking the intersection of Fulton and Adams streets as a shooting incident unfolded.
Three people, including two innocent bystanders, were shot in broad daylight in front of the GAP Outlet Store on Fulton Street, just after lunch hour on Friday, July 13.
Police and ambulances converged on the scene and a police helicopter buzzed overhead as the victims were taken to hospitals. Shell casings, marked by small red NYPD cones, littered the sidewalk of the borough’s busiest shopping street.
