Shooting at plaground leave cousin's shot

 

Two young cousins who sustained gunshot wounds at a playground in Brooklyn are on the path to recovery as of Tuesday and are sharing their harrowing experience. The incident occurred at Hilltop Playground shortly after 9 p.m. on Monday, located at the intersection of Dean and Thomas Boyland streets. Nine-year-old Ruanna Brown was shot in the leg, while her 11-year-old cousin, Empress Alexander Davis, suffered a gunshot wound to her back.

"I could feel my shoulder, and then my cousin was screaming about a leg or a knee," Empress said.

The bullet penetrated Ruanna's knee; however, fortunately, her bone remained intact. "I'm feeling OK, I was a little nervous so I didn't talk too much but the doctors were trying to make me talk a lot so I wouldn't fall asleep, so I didn't really have a lot to say, but they were asking me questions about my summer," Ruanna said.

The Empress continues to be hospitalized; however, she is anticipated to return home shortly and is eager to resume her life as an ordinary child. While seated on a park bench, Empress' mother observed the girls at play when the sound of gunfire erupted. The playground is located directly across the street from their residence.

"My heart fell out of my chest to hear my daughter was shot. First thing I thought was lord take my life and not hers," said Melissa Alexander, Ruanna's mother. "I'm lost for words. I'm devastated. I'm hurt. I cried all night, all morning. I just want my baby to be safe."

 Authorities are seeking two male suspects and report that a minimum of six shots were discharged from two distinct firearms. Investigators have indicated that the girls were not the intended victims, and efforts are underway to locate the two individuals responsible for the gunfire at the park.

Ruanna's mother has this to say to the gunmen: "Get a life. There's so much more constructive things to do. You're putting children's lives at stake. Innocent children. I'm sure you have someone that looks up to you and you are letting them down."

Ruanna's mother expresses the following message to the assailants: "Get a life. There's so much more constructive things to do. You're putting children's lives at stake. Innocent children. I'm sure you have someone that looks up to you and you are letting them down."

Man chokes 6 year old and robs 14 year old in Brooklyn

 

Law enforcement officials are actively seeking a suspect who is alleged to have targeted two young girls, committing a violent robbery at their residence located near Eastern Parkway and Ralph Avenue. One of the victims, a 14-year-old female, provided an exclusive account to a reporter, with her mother's consent. She recounted that while she was escorting her six-year-old sister home from school on Wednesday, the assailant approached them from behind and demanded her gold necklace.

 "The man grabbed me by the neck and then - my sister looked and she started getting scared. I didn't have time...I couldn't react. I only looked at my sister and she was screaming," said the 14-year-old. The victims reported that the man trailed the girls from school to their residence, entering the building directly behind them and subsequently managing to corner them in a confined lobby area.

Authorities report that the suspect, cornered between two doors and physically dominated by an adult male, initiated the act of choking the six-year-old with one hand. Simultaneously, he forcibly removed her gold necklace and subsequently seized her older sister's gold necklace, both of which were birthday gifts from their mother.

The mother, occupied with her work at that moment, felt a deep sense of gratitude that her children were not taken."I'm very worried, because I got to call my daughter every time she goes out of school to make sure her safety is good," she says.

Emergency personnel conveyed the victims to Maimonides Medical Center, where they were reported to be in stable condition. The NYPD has described the suspect as approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall, aged between 25 and 40 years. Additionally, they noted that the individual has dark hair styled in a ponytail and possesses a light complexion.

At the time of the incident, the individual in question was observed donning a white shirt and holding a shopping bag from Target. Authorities report that he subsequently took a grey sweatshirt from the bag and donned it over his t-shirt
