Since April 29, when the 66 Precinct’s CompStat unit first reported an early morning BB gun shooting on Ocean Parkway between Cortelyou and Ditmas, there have been 9 shootings, with 9 people hit. So far no one has been hurt.
On May 16 the 66's Special Operations unit, led by Lt. James Selleck, took a team of 10 officers out to Ocean Parkway to investigate. It returned with lots of leads, but no arrests. Still, while NYC had a hot Memorial Day weekend crime wise, it was calm in Kensington. And, according to the 66, there have been no new BB gun incidents since the Special Operations team's visit 2 weeks' ago.
