One Is Killed and Two Wounded by Gunmen at a Brooklyn Office

Two men fired automatic weapons through the side door of a wholesale gasoline in Brooklyn yesterday, killing one man and wounding two others, police say.

Happy Reading!

  1. "Across the West, there is still enormous apprehension at the debasement of public discourse, at fake news and at an apparent decline in the political culture that means it is now possible to lie and get away with it."

    1. It is alarming. And it's not getting better, nor will it as long as the people spewing these lies are allowed to stay in power.

  2. Happy Friday!
    I'm reading Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham. It’s so good.
    "Luke's phone buzzed to life on the table beside him as he finished up a few final emails to Mrs. Kershaw and Mr. Holton. Unknown number? He shrugged off the curiosity and went back to the email, giving a detailed account of all the finalized pieces of the kitchen remodel."
    I hope you have a great weekend! Happy reading!!! 🙂❤️📚

    1. I had high hopes for this one, but sadly it did not hold my attention. Apparently I only am interested in the Italian and Irish mobs?
