More on the shootout in Harlem
I was wrong, wrong, wrong about the newspapers ignoring the shootout.
According to the papers, police fired 77 shots during the gun battle. The suspect, 25-year-old Cedric Rooks, who was already on parole for robbery, took bullets in the neck, shoulder, and hip. The other 74 bullets, plus however many Rooks fired off, went into trees, apartment windows, and car windows. Glass from car windows and windshields lay all over 115th Street.
When you walk by now, you can't tell anything happened there.
Cedric Rooks is in stable condition at Harlem Hospital. He is one lucky motherfucker, 74 times over. Or else he's really, really skinny.
Internal Affairs is investigating. We'll see what they find.

Also, he'll be in court February 8 in front of Judge Yates. Looks like there was an earlier mistrial.
There was an earlier mistrial and he is going back to trial on Feb 5th. Lets hope things work out for the best.
