I’m a little late on this one, but in case you didn’t hear about the Forest Hills minivan shooting, well, here you have it. In the kind of crime that doesn’t happen around here too often, two people — a man and a woman — were wounded, one critically, when they were shot in a van parked up by the LIE. It happened in the wee hours of Friday morning. I can’t seem to find much recent reportage on this, but the story is still developing as the crime is being investigated. No word on the latest condition of the critically injured woman, either.
Pretty scary. I always cite the low crime rate as one of the best things about the neighborhood — though this did happen very close to the border with higher-crime Corona. In any event, something like this can happen anywhere; it’s just less likely to happen here.
