A 4-year-old boy died after he took a bullet in the head during a wild shootout on a Bronx basketball court Sunday night, cops and witnesses said.

Two men were also wounded in the gunfire that erupted during a hoops tournament at an E. 165th St. court in Morrisania about 9:40 p.m., police said.

That is right. It is called knowing the laws and how they work. NYC is a strict "may issue". IIRC, NY Post printed the list of CCW holders in NYC, all but a few retired cops were rich people. Poor people in The Bronx don't get CCWs.

If I see Sean Hannity carrying in my hometown, I call the cops. Because I know his NY CCW is not valid in Wyoming. I know the law.

like Holmes on Angels Breath. JL was a pot head. I'm guessing the shooters did not have an NYC licenses, since they are not millionaires or celebrities. If it was a Glock, there is a fair chance that once belonged to NYPD.

you admit to guessing about the licenses. So don't need a source for that.

Could the others be a guess also?

If so - I can live with it. Just say you were guessing. You perhaps have the background to make that educated guess. I don't.

Oakland -- A 5-year-old girl wounded during a drive-by shooting in Oakland on Saturday afternoon remained hospitalized in stable condition Sunday.

The girl, whose name has not been released by police, was shot in the neck as she was walking near the corner of Bancroft Avenue and 50th Avenue around 2:45 p.m., accompanied by another child and an adult neighbor. The gunman, who fled the scene, was targeting a man on the sidewalk, police said.

The girl was hit just outside an Oakland Fire Department station. Paramedics there were able to stop the bleeding and stabilize her condition before she was transported to Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland, where she remained Sunday ...

Officials said the childrens' grandfather used the RV for hunting trips ...

Jul 2012

By Allison Klein, Monday, July 23, 8:00 PM

Three men have been charged in connection with an early morning shooting in Northwest Washington.

It started about 2:45 a.m. Saturday when two groups of men were arguing at 11th and U streets NW, the heart of the bustling U Street corridor’s nightlife. Gunfire erupted, and two women were shot, each in a leg, police said.

Two D.C. police officers nearby heard the gunshots and saw three men running from the direction of the gunfire toward a Mercedes-Benz, according to court papers. When the men saw police, they slowed down and began to walk casually, according to the documents.

The men got in the car and started to drive away as one of the officers tried to stop them, court documents show. The car pulled over, then the driver hit the gas, police said, but the car was ultimately stuck in traffic a block away ...

MARLBORO COUNTY, SC (WMBF) – Two men have been arrested in connection to the invasion and burglary of an elderly woman's home less than 12 hours after the crime was reported.

Marlboro County Sheriff Fred Knight reports that 31-year-old Ronnie Henry Stephenson of Lydia and 42-year-old Nelson Hawkins of Darlington were taken into custody and charged with burglary and damage to property.

Those charges stem from the reported home burglary of a Blenheim woman around 8 a.m. Monday morning in the area of Highway 38 South.

The Mac-10 and Agram sub-machine guns were part of the arsenal of weapons seized by the Metropolitan Police.

Britain’s biggest police force, responsible for security at the Olympics, has revealed the shocking figures for the first time.

From 2008, when the data was first collected, to the end of December 2011 it seized 1,153 handguns, four machine guns, 80 rifles, 685 shotguns and 59 sub-machine guns.

It also took 645 stun guns or Tasers off the street and 19 other weapons “capable of lethal discharge”, including pen guns, key-fob guns and converted flares.

97. Banker gunned down
Mon Jul 23, 2012, 08:49 PM
Jul 2012
A Russian banker who was gunned down outside his home in London's Docklands in an assassination attempt had fled to Britain seeking safety because he feared he would be killed by rivals in his home country.

German Gorbuntsov was shot several times, possibly with a sub-machine gun, as he entered an exclusive block of serviced flats near Canary Wharf. Last night the businessman was under armed guard in an unnamed London hospital where he was in a critical but stable condition. It was reported that he had been put in a medically induced coma and was receiving treatment for multiple gunshot wounds.

Mr Gorbuntsov, 46, whose business interests are believed to include the Spartak Moscow ice hockey club, recently told his lawyer that he thought he had been under surveillance. However, he said he felt safe in London and did not want to move. Reports from Russia suggested the financier was about to be interviewed by the Russian authorities over the killing of another banker in which he had been both a suspect and a possible witness.

BIDDEFORD, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- State Police say Timothy Courtois was driving 112mph on the Maine Turnpike with his emergency flashers on, when an officer pulled him over Sunday morning. State Police Spokesman Steve McCausland says they found an AK-47 assault weapon, four handguns and several boxes of ammunition, in Courtois' car.

State Police say that during routine questioning at the stop, Courtois threw some red flags in his behavior. Among them, police say he had purchased the black Ford Mustang he was pulled over in the day after the shooting. Police say Courtois told them he planned to modify the vehicle so it could outrun police in a chase.

Courtois told police he was on his way to Derry, New Hampshire to shoot a former employer. He also said he had been to see The Dark Knight Rises in Saco the night before, with a loaded gun in his backpack.

McCausland says police then searched Courtois's home, at 344 Elm Street in Biddeford, and found several additional guns, a machine gun, and thousands of rounds of ammunition ...
