This Saturday there was a shooting at Bryant Park. A boy named Cory Dunton,16 years old, has been flagged as the gun man. People were trying to get a few more minutes with a late night skate when shortly before 11 pm Dunton approach Javier Contreras,20 years old, demanding his coat. The coat was believed to be a Marmot Mammoth, which is also known as a Biggie, which is a known object for robberies within the city during the winter. Contreras refused and Dunton walked away. Minutes later Dunton returned with a gun and opened fire on Contreras. Shoots were fired and about 300 scrambled around for cover. Javier Contreras was struck in the abdomen, leg and hands. On Sunday morning the traces of the shooting had been scrubbed away from the ice.
This is disturbing to hear being that friends and I skate at Bryant Park. What if we just so happened to be there that day? Its sad because people came to skate on an innocent Saturday to have fun. And it seems as if people just cant have nice things with out someone trying to rob them for something that they or their parents paid for. It's just appalling.
I agree with you it hurts when you know people can't be safe.
