The two men had been sitting in the Galaxy Diner at about 5:15 a.m. ET Saturday when they got up and started shooting, police and witnesses said.

Shootings? Pistolwhipped? Hmmm.... I though handguns were illegal in NYC...</SARCASM OFF>
Perhaps what is really needed are carry permits for citizens...

If some of the patrons were carrying legally licensed firearms of their own, the results would have been much different

Looks like NYC is going back to the good-old days of rampant crime.

Police were searching for the suspects It should be easy enough catching these shooters. Just check the NYC pistol permit database and the bullet DNA database and then just mosey on out and haul in the shooters.
I'm surprised the cops haven't thought of this!

Six of the eight shooting victims were not seriously wounded, police said. They must have holding their guns sideways.

I'm disappointed that "it wasn't personal, it was just business" didn't appear in the article.

When will Congress ban sideways shooting?

Asst. principal hurled
down escalator
By KERRY BURKE, JONATHAN LEMIRE
and CELESTE KATZ
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS
A 15-year-old student shoved an assistant principal down a school escalator in Manhattan yesterday, sending the man to the hospital and logging yet another arrest in a week of school violence.
Nerva Jean-Pierre, the assistant principal for security at Norman Thomas High School, was escorting the student from the third floor to the second about 10 a.m. when the boy pushed Jean-Pierre, sending him tumbling, police said.
"I saw J.P. on the floor, unconscious, at the bottom of the escalator," said Angel Huertas, 16, a junior from Queens. "The kid who did it to him was being chased by cops and security all over the building. . . . It was shocking."
Police charged the student, whose name was not released, with second-degree assault. He was suspended and will be sent to a Second Opportunity School for violent youngsters, education officials said.
Jean-Pierre, who coaches the school's baseball team, was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was treated for back pain and released. He had returned to the school by 2:30 p.m. yesterday.
"We have a great school. This is an isolated incident," he said. "Ninety-nine percent of the kids are great kids, and I love working at Norman Thomas High School," he added. "Our halls are quiet. Kids go to class."
Jean-Pierre recently joined the 2,800-student Murray Hill school after 10 years at Tilden High School in Brooklyn.
Others were less upbeat about security at Norman Thomas.
"It's pretty sad. We're all exposed here," said Spanish teacher Emilio Lopez, 32. "It could happen to any one of us anytime. It happened before and it'll happen again, but it's never been this bad."
Student Keyana Stevens, 16, of the Bronx, said Jean-Pierre has a reputation for strictness. "He's chasing people all the time," she said. "Nobody likes him because he's so by-the-book."
Mayor Bloomberg announced a crackdown on school violence Jan. 5, sending armed police into the most dangerous schools.
