| 2021-12-24 |
| [NYPOST] An NYPD school safety agent was rubbed out on her 27th birthday outside a Queens nightclub early Thursday — when her beau and ex-boyfriend got into a shootout and she was struck in the fray, according to cops and police sources. The agent, whose birthday was on Wednesday, her boyfriend and her cousin were celebrating inside Solletto on Steinway Street near Astoria Boulevard N, the sources said. At some point, the agent’s ex-boyfriend showed up — but when he tried to enter, the bouncer stopped him because he had a gun on him, according to the sources. When the trio walked out of the club just after 4 a.m., the agent’s ex got into a scuffle with her boyfriend, the sources said. Both men pulled out guns and fired at each other, the sources said. The agent was struck in the torso and leg by stray bullets, according to cops and the sources. She was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital-Queens, where she was pronounced dead. He's dead, Jim! cops said. Her name was not immediately released, pending family notification. Her 27-year-old cousin was also blasted by a stray slug in the left knee, and her boyfriend, who turned 27 Thursday, was struck in the buttocks and left shoulder, authorities and the sources said. They both were taken to Elmhurst Hospital in stable, pH balanced condition. The ex-boyfriend fled after the shooting in a white BMW that was stopped in New Jersey for speeding, the sources said. New Jersey cops did not know he was wanted for the shooting, so they confiscated the car but let him go, according to the sources. Police were still on the hunt for him later Thursday Gunfire also erupted on Holland Avenue near Astor Avenue in the Allerton section of the Bronx around 11:15 p.m. Wednesday, cops said. Responding officers found the victim lying on the ground, with a gunshot wound to his chest, police said. The victim, who lived down the block from the scene, was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. He's dead, Jim! His name also was not released, pending family notification. The circumstances of the slaying are unclear. Also on Wednesday, 27-year-old Jordan Gilliam died of injuries sustained in a shooting a week earlier at the corner of 97th Street and 57th Avenue in the Corona section of Queens, cops said. Bullets flew in front of a deli just after 8:30 p.m. Dec. 15, striking Gilliam in the right shoulder and buttocks, police said. A 37-year-old man was also shot in both thighs, cops said. Both men, who are members of the Bloods gang and have criminal pasts, were taken to Elmhurst Hospital, where Gilliam was pronounced dead Wednesday. The older man remained in stable, pH balanced condition, police said. No arrests have been made in the shooting, which may have been gang-related, authorities said. |

| #3 Well, in the state of New York, political juice is a requirement to get a carry permit if you are anything other than a cop. If either of the shooters were carrying illegally, well, there's yet another tribute to the value of repressive gun laws. |

| #1 the bouncer stopped him because he had a gun on him Both men pulled out guns A crossing guard? Why did the current boyfriend get in with a gun? Sounds like a good civil suit against the club, and the bouncer. |
