A war of words turned deadly at downtown diner early this morning, leaving a violent thug with a lengthy rap sheet dead and sending scared patrons scattering into the streets.

The gunman and his entourage barged into the crowded Good Stuff Diner on 14th Street at 4:46 a.m. and opened fire on Corey Scott, 28, after beefing with him at a back booth.

Scott, of Brooklyn, was shot several times in the back and head, was pronounced dead at the scene. No arrests have been made.

An early breakfast gone bad?

Was he related to this guy?

He was just starting to turn his life around...

[Anti-Bubba182]

Selling Girl Scout Cookies really paid off for him....until they whacked him for not turning in their share!

[jimbo123]

That was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen!

The shooter deserves a Nobel Prize!

But...but according to folks from North Carolina, blacks never darken the doorpath (you should excuse my phraseology) of Union Square! They’re segretated in Harlem!

Who do think was paying for his *astard kids while he was showing his money? And just for the record, the $20 bills he had in his stash wouldn’t pay anyone’s rent for sixty years (as he claimed). I guess he didn’t stay in school long enough to figure that out. /s

Proof NY should allow CCW a lot more than it does.

That’s what is called elimination.

Going to the bathroom comes to mind.

What a relief for the community.

...beefing with him...???

One of the Post's reporters/editors worked/works at a pork store.

great video

[presently no screen name]

I didn't know he had kids, I didn't ask. Not sure what you talking about. He killed someone in '04 and he is/was out and about.

the $20 bills he had in his stash

Thought they were $50's.

great creative use of the “n” word. The way he pronounced the “er” endings as “ah”, he must have grown un in Boston.

[dennisw]

he and his friend used the n-word 20 times or so in that brainless video. I’s obvious his role models are gangsta rappers

I used to live in the area and I go to Union Sq. all the time - I never saw or heard if that diner.

Nice place, nice owners. The wife and I ducked in for a quick New Year’s Eve bite at 12:05 this year.

14th Street just west of 6th Avenue- not Union Square.

So a moment ago, I’m surfing Freep, and I get to this story + see Union Square, then I see Good Stuff diner, then I realize I’m sitting in the Good Stuff Diner as I’m reading this!

The hostess just gave me the full story. Wow.
