6 shootings, 3 murders this year in the complex.

Signs went up recently about a special meeting with the commanding office of the 67th precinct (Oct. 12 at 8pm at 1404 Brooklyn Ave). Sign says "in light of the recent events."

This, of course, is the polite way of saying "since two people have been gunned down in the last two weeks within the complex..."

They couldn't be more sympathetic victims either. A young father who appears to have been mistaken for someone else, and a young boy who refused to join a gang.

According to this that makes six murders within the complex for 2010.

I'm sure they had a hard enough time renting places when they could claim zero murders (2009), with these, I can't imagine good things for the leasing office.
