According to the Brooklyn Eagle:

[A] single shot was reported at 12:50 p.m. in front of 1 MetroTech, home to National Grid and other businesses. One shell casing was found; no injuries have been reported. NYPD is currently investigating.

    National Grid is One Metrotech Center not Plaza.

    Sounds like it was a shot fired rather than a shooting. Willowtowncop would appreciate the distinction!

    My husband works at MetroTech. I don’t care about the distinction of whether shots were fired or there was a shooting. I don’t like any of it.

    @Knight – I worked in Brownsville – if it didn’t hit anyone, it was a firecracker.

    Ya feel so alive when you have bullets buzzing by your head.

    Agreed! But I worked at 4 MetroTech in the late 90s when a shot fired (as opposed to a shooting — which means they hit something) wouldn’t have made any news at all!

    In Gerry’s defense, the post has been modified since he made his correct statement. When I first read this post this afternoon, it made reference to Dean Meminger’s tweet calling the site “1 MetroTech Plaza”

    And to my point: it was not a “shooting” if nothing was hit.

  • Joe A

    I agree. A “shooting” generally denotes that someone was hit by gunfire. More properly it should have been reported as “shots fired”.

    @ GHB it said One Metrotech Plaza and NOT One Metrotech Center get with the program wake up and smell the coffee.
