NEW YORK (AP) — A gunfight broke out on a Brooklyn street during a funeral service where at least one shooter returned fire from inside the church vestibule, leaving two dead and four others injured, according to police.

Three men opened fire on a crowd outside Emmanuel Church of God in Brooklyn's East Flatbush neighborhood Monday evening, police said. Mourners had gathered there for the funeral of 38-year-old Jose Luis Robles, who had died of natural causes.

...urged the media not to describe the shootings as gang related. They said that may spur retaliatory violence.

Sure, just lie and say something like the NYPD were likely involved, that'll calm things down.

Seems that the SAFE legislation is really, really working. As evidence, gun arrests are up 42% just in the subway system alone. Ref linky thing:

“Gun Arrests Up 42 Percent On NYC Subway System In Past Year”

Just think how many more deaths there might have been if this 42% wasn’t taken off the streets. Probably 150% or more. (/S)
