Closing Bell: Shooting in Front of 370 Lafayette

370-Lafayette-Avenue-0709.jpg
The Local blog has the report on an undercover operation gone tragically wrong in Clinton Hill…Evidently an undercover cop sitting on the stoop at 370 Lafayette Avenue was attacked by a resident of the building who was angry at his presence on the stoop. One thing led to another and the resident was shot. Check The Local for more details. Update: The Daily News is reporting that the fight started because the policeman had an earpiece in that prevented him from hearing the resident, and ex-con, giving an initial command to get off his stoop; the resident then followed up with a kick to the back of the head and a punch in the face.
