Several people logged on to the Crown Heights board Saturday night to see if anyone had the inside scoop on a low flying, loud and lingering helicopter near Franklin and Eastern. With the recent spate of gun shot threads on the board, one might assume that an uptick in violence may have brought out the whirlybirds. Or that cops were trying to disperse crowds from the day’s Panamanian Parade. There was speculating, then our own cccc delivered the inside scoop:
“The police officer was hit by an object thrown off one of the rooftops. They are using helicopters to search the roofs. The PO had a serious laceration and was taken to Kings County Hospital. I know for fact this is what happened”
cccc keeps his sources to himself, but the story is soon verified in the local news. This one had a happy ending which you can read about at Crown Heights Message Board: helicopter circling over my block–what’s the deal :: Brooklynian.com | Brooklyn Blog and Message Boards
We’re still waiting for conclusions in the gun shot threads…
