While Brooklyn's shooting incidents are slightly down this year, community fears remain heightened amid ongoing violence.
I can't believe this happened again. This is the third or fourth shooting I can remember here. I am trying to get my family out of here.
Year to date, shootings in Brooklyn South precincts are down slightly, with 21 incidents reported as of April 20, according to the most recent NYPD data.
