I heard this happen with my own ears yesterday. ASBURY PARK A city resident was shot in the shoulder Sunday afternoon while he was standing outside a home in a residential neighborhood, police said.
Jahmere Crooms, 18, was shot outside of 408 Comstock St., Sgt. Todd Wilson said. Crooms was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, where his injuries are not believed to be life-threathening, Wilson said. Crooms gave police few details about the shooting, saying only that he was hanging out when he was shot, Wilson said. Connie Davis, who lives at the southeast corner of Comstock and Bangs streets, said she was sitting in her living room when bullets whizzed into her home. "Right now, I'm just happy to be here," said Davis, who is considering moving out of her home of four years. "And to think that this happened in broad daylight on a Sunday." Wilson said he could not verify that Davis' home had been shot at. Another neighbor at the intersection, who wished not to be named for fear of retaliation, said she was selling clothes outside of her son's home with several family members when she heard gunshots and saw several people running north on Comstock Street. "What could we do? We just ran inside," she said. "People say this corner is pretty hot." Yahoo!
