Riding on Ludlow one night two years ago, I heard gunshots coming from in front of me. As I come to an intersection, I see a crowd of Puerto Rican kids in front of some projects, around what appeared to be a body. I had just stumbled upon a shooting victim, two minutes after the shooting. I just hung back and watched as DT's arrived and began to question witnesses. The first thing I heard from a screaming witness was, "They were black, and from Brooklyn!" Chaos, needless to say. Eventually the EMT's arrived and threw the body on the stretcher, which was still alive as I heard one of the EMT's say, "stay with us, stay with us." Damn.
