"Local residents were outraged over the latest shooting. I refuse to walk with my grandson over this way, said Hilary Clarke. We need to uplift and stop killing one another. Thursday's shooting happened at a time when Brooklyn has been battling a late summer surge in gun violence. How does this keep happening in this community? asked Roger Bennett. The mayor, a few weeks ago, was just talking about how crime was down over here. I don't believe it. We've had so many shootings."
