According to NYPD data released yesterday, the shooting and murder rates are down in New York City, with comparison to this time last year; the former has dropped by 24 percent and the latter by 30 percent.

On Sunday morning, a Yemeni immigrant was shot in broad daylight on his first day working at a bodega in the Bronx. He's in stable condition, sustaining an injury where he was shot in the hip. But the reason? The customer wanted to use his credit card to buy a loosie -- a single cigarette sold out of the pack -- and the unidentified worker denied him to do so (because a loosie is usually only 50 cents or so; nowhere near any credit card minimum.)

In the video shown above, released by the NYPD and uploaded to YouTube by Gothamist, the assailant is seen arguing at an unseen figure, and he gets physical for a second or two. Then, hours later, he returns, hood on and gun in hand, to seek vengeance on the worker.

As moviegoers were disoriented by the smoke, some even thinking that it was a special effect, the shooter wordlessly opened fire. Aurora police would later find a AR-15 semiautomatic assault rifle, shotgun, and .40-caliber glock on the scene and fourth firearm, a handgun, in Holmes' car. He stopped only to reload, and when he finished, 71 people had been shot, including one in an adjacent theater who was hit when a bullet tore through the wall. Ten died where they fell. Two more died on the way to the hospital.

Although initial stories reported 14 dead, WNYC's The Takeaway and ABC News are saying that the death toll has been revised down to 12, with at least 50 injured.

ABC News just reported that suspect "James Holmes, 24, of North Aurora, was apprehended at the scene clad in a bullet-proof vest and riot helmet."

The Takeaway host Todd Zwillich says there was great confusion as the shooting began, as the shooter appears to have opened fire during a scene in the The Dark Knight Rises where shooting was happening onscreen. Bullets apparently also went through the theater's walls into an adjacent screening. Zwillich says at first people thought it might have been "some kind of promotion."

Yep, you read that right. Whistles.

Here's what's up: Robberies have swelled by 41 percent in the 48th Precinct, the Daily News notes. This includes West Farms and other Community Board 6 neighborhoods.
