Four people – including three teenagers – were shot in a Brooklyn housing project early Wednesday morning, cops said.
Police were called to the Louis Armstrong Houses in Bedford-Stuyvesant about 4:30 a.m. after neighbors reported hearing gunfire on the third floor.
“I heard three or four shots,” said Linda Banks. “I was sleeping and woke up.”

Banks, a 55-year-old grandmother and longtime Armstrong tenant, said violence has become more widespread lately.
“I’ve been there 21 years and it’s getting worse,” she said. “Kids that don’t even live in that building or that block are hanging out.”
“We’ve been having some more shootouts lately,” she said.
I feel sorry for the grandmother having to be in the projects for 21 years. The goal is to get out. I blame her kids if those were her grandchildren that got shot. If not I still blame her kids for her being there unless that is where she wants to or needs to be. Goals. I got the f*ck out as soon as I could cus they don’t care about you there and you could be law abiding.
@ jay jay i could not agree more,if you got goals number one should be to get up outta those jects,i could write a book on th reasons why!!!
Mother fuckers stay in the projects, because it’s they pay cheap rent, thinking they goin to save money,and if u been rocking ther e for over 20 years and don’t have anything to show for, those 20 years of paying cheap Rent , you should not complain.. You should have been the one to get shot, so some one else can have an opportunity to get their shit together.. Stop depending on welfare, and food stamps ie ( ebt cards) thinking you getting over….
