BY VERONIKA BELENKAYA, ALISON GENDAR and LEO STANDORA DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS
"...Investigators said the drive-by maniac shot away from behind the wheel of a green, four-door Cadillac with a navigational device on the dashboard.
"It's early, but it looks like some nut in a green car shooting at guys in red cars," a police source said. "It makes absolutely no sense."...
"A 9-mm. shell casing was found at one scene but it was not clear if that was the only gun used."...
Chronology

Gang hit?
Gee, maybe they should make it more illegal for people to have guns there.
"Gang hit?"
Does not appear to be.
"Gee, maybe they should make it more illegal for people to have guns there'"
And they still scream here for more anti-gun laws here...
---Gee, maybe they should make it more illegal for people to have guns there.---
The new game is to try and make it harder for residents of other states to get guns.
Those Dam British!!! Always loyal to the Crown!!!! /s
"it would appear this shooter had firearms training / or plenty of practice at hitting a moving target. more than stationery target practice?"
It would appear so.
What no SUV caused these crimes?
Interesting sport.
"What no SUV caused these crimes?"
His OTHER car is an SUV....
He once rode in one.
"Gee, maybe they should make it more illegal for people to have guns there."
hmmm that hasn't worked so lets go with banning the color green, four-door Cadillacs and navigational devices on the dashboard.
"It's early, but it looks like some nut in a green car shooting at guys in red cars," a police source said. "It makes absolutely no sense."..
The obvious answer it to enact laws against owning Green Cars. Or enact some 'Common Sense Green Car Control Laws'.
Or.... ban owning Red Cars. Then there'd be no one to shoot at. This may be a tad more draconian but its something to consider. After all this is NY.
We will soon know what the motives of the shooter were. If he is some sort of jihadist kook, this news story will quickly disappear. If the shooter is some ordinary kook, we will hear endless stories promoting gun control.
your prediction is 'only going to go downhill from here?'
True
