Six men were shot yesterday in Brooklyn in four seperate incidents that left two men dead, and 4 others in the hospital.

A 19-year old was fatally shot last night at around 10p.m. as he stood outside. Two men riding on bicycles opened fire at Sterling Place and Nostrand. The victim was taken to Kings County Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

A half-hour earlier, a 17-year old and an 18-year old were shot on East 105th. As of press time, both victims were reported in stable condition.

Less than a quarter mile away, a 16 and 19-year old were also shot, and taken to the hospital and listed in stable condition. In a seperate incident, at about 7:30pm, a 27-year old man was shot while arguing with a group of other men. The 27-year old, identified as Jamal Ford, was shot in the head and chest and pronounced dead on arrival at Brookdale Hospital.

Not surprisingly, NO arrests were made. This puts alot of pressure on the NYPD, who recently began setting up cameras all over Brooklyn neighborhoods. As a Brooklyn resident, I can feel it in the air. This summer's going to be HOT, and I ain't talking about the weather.
