A man kicked out of his indie rock band shot three of his bandmates to death in their Brooklyn apartment early Monday and wounded a fourth before killing himself on the roof, police said.
The band members were all from Iran but had come the United States in the past few years seeking more musical freedom. It wasn't immediately clear why the ex-member snapped, police said.
The shooting happened shortly after midnight in a row house in East Williamsburg, an industrial neighborhood home to mostly warehouses where artists can rent cheaper space than in trendier parts of the city.

WTH? A gun in brooklyn/nyc? Did he get it the same place the ice rink shooter got his? Heavy metal music? I got booted out of a band about 4 years ago and the satisfaction I got was that everybody I talked to “post me” said the band had started to suck after I left. Ah ha. Vindicated. LOL!

Hey. If the shooter had a fatwa on the issue, he’s covered. Come to think of it “Fatwa” would be a good band name.

A: The 16-inch cheese pizza can feed a family of four.

Iranian? What were some of their hits? “Kill the Jew”? “Fatwah on Rushdie?” “My wife was raped so she must be stoned to death for seducing men”?
