Brooklyn community leaders, civic activist, local politicians, and community residents will join together to bring greater awareness to gang violence and demand solutions to the problems in the 79th, 81st ,83rd , and 88th precincts /neighborhoods in Brooklyn.





Three teenagers were lined up against a wall of a US school car park and shot in the head in a shocking triple murder for which police have found no motive.

While the precise ages of the victims was not immediately known, reports from the scene in New Jersey have said they were all teenagers. Identification tags from Delaware State University were found on the bodies, police have said. The three were killed execution-style in a school car park in Newark. They were named as Ofemi Hightower, Terrance Aeriel and Deshawn Harvey. A fourth victim was wounded in the shooting. The injured 19-year-old woman was the sister of one of those murdered. She is recovering in the hospital. Police have said they have made no arrests and have no idea of the motive behind the shocking slayings. A spokesman for the local prosecutor's office said: "All four were good kids." source: Perth Now (New Jersey Newspaper)
