    Kimani Gray death: Protesters clash with police at rally for teen shot by NYPD

    John Minchillo / AP

    Demonstrator Fatimah Shakur speaks during a vigil held for Kimani "Kiki" Gray in the East Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn on March 13, 2013, in New York. The 16-year-old was shot to death on a Brooklyn street last Saturday night by plainclothes police officers who claim the youth pointed a .38-caliber revolver at them.

    Memorial candles stand beside a picture of Kimani Gray during a vigil for the deceased teen on March 13, 2013.

    The Associated Press reports — More than 100 people attended a candlelight vigil in Brooklyn Wednesday night for 16-year-old Kimani "Kiki" Gray just blocks from where he was shot to death by police Saturday night.

    But anger was palpable as a group of young people heckled police officers in helmets and later marched down a street.

    The vigil's organizers tried and failed to calm the young people, some of whom later threw bottles at police officers.

    "I'm not going to tell people don't be angry because we're all angry," said Franclot Graham, whose teenage son, Ramarley Graham, was shot and killed after police chased him into his Bronx home last year. Read the full story.

    It's true that God gives us life here on Earth, and when we live "Right," then he gives us eternal life in Heaven.

    Sandy's path of destruction leaves mark on Brooklyn

    Shaul Schwarz / Reportage - Getty Images for NBC News

    Flooding in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn after Hurricane Sandy caused extensive damage in the area on October 30, in New York. The storm has claimed at least 27 lives in the United States, and has caused massive flooding across much of the Atlantic seaboard.

    During Shaul Schwarz's photojournalism and film career, he has often focused on stories far from home, particularly during his long-term project on drug violence in Mexico and the resulting cultural impact in those communities.

    Yesterday, big news came to his backyard as deadly Hurricane Sandy barreled through New York City. Late last night and this morning, he walked around his neighborhood of Brooklyn to see the path of destruction left by the high winds and water.

    At least ten people are dead in New York City, millions have been left without electricity, and transit has been crippled. Read more.

    NBC New York reports:

    At least two dozen firefighters were hurt in a massive six-alarm fire in the Wingate neighborhood of Brooklyn that fire officials believe was sparked by lightning, authorities said. One civilian was treated at the scene, fire officials said.

    More than 200 firefighters battled the blaze at the seven-story apartment building Thursday afternoon. The fire was reported under control by 1:45 p.m., about three and a half hours after it started, the FDNY tweeted from the scene.

    The entire seventh floor of the building was gutted and hundreds of tenants have been displaced, officials said. Fire marshals have yet to determine for certain whether lightning was the cause, according to FDNY spokesman Frank Dwyer. Continue reading.

    A surveillance photo provided by the New York Police Department shows a man charged with homicide and arson, in the Brooklyn borough of New York. A woman burned to death in the elevator of her Brooklyn apartment building Saturday afternoon after Jerome Isaac, of Brooklyn, ambushed her, sprayed her with liquid and set her afire with a Molotov cocktail, police said.

    Cops: Woman burned to death owed suspect $2,000

    msnbc.com staff and news services report:

    Jerome Isaac, of Brooklyn, was arrested Sunday on murder and arson charges in the death of 73-year-old Deloris Gillespie. The 47-year-old Isaac reeked of gasoline when he entered a police station overnight and implicated himself in Gillespie's death, New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said.

    Gillespie was ambushed in the elevator of her Brooklyn apartment building on Saturday afternoon, Browne said. The suspect had been waiting for her when the elevator doors opened to the fifth floor of her building in Prospect Heights, police said.

    "It was apparent he knew she was on the elevator," Browne said.

    After setting Gillespie ablaze, Isaac went to his apartment building just blocks away and set a fire there, Browne said. He then hid on a roof before turning himself in to police, Browne said.

    New York's historic Floyd Bennett Field to become nation's largest urban campground

    By Rich Shulman

    It's interesting news that Brooklyn will gain a campground after a decision by the National Park Service.

    As noted in a story earlier this year, there was pressure to reopen the "ghost airport" to general aviation.

    Bebeto Matthews / AP

    Heavy-duty haulers travel an abandoned airstrip at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, New York, Tuesday, June 14. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said the National Park Service will develop the nation's largest urban campground at Floyd Bennett Field, a former airport used by Amelia Earhart and Howard Hughes.

    Chris Hawley / AP

    In this March 11, 2011 photo, a National Park Service hangar emblazoned with the name Floyd Bennett Field glows orange at sunset at New York City's "ghost airport" in Brooklyn, N.Y. The city is struggling to find space to expand its overloaded airports, but Floyd Bennett Field can't be reactivated permanently because the old airport belongs to the National Park Service.

    In this Sept. 4, 1936 file photo, Amelia Earhart is talking with her husband George Palmer Putnam, right, and friends in New York, before taking off from Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett field for Los Angeles in the Bendix Trophy race. Floyd Bennett Field was built between 1928 and 1931 and quickly became the preferred launching site for record-setting flights by Howard Hughes, Earhart, Wiley Post and other aviation pioneers. The Navy took over the airport in 1941 and most of the airport closed for good in 1971, but the New York Police Department still uses a corner of it as its helicopter base.

Hughes, who looks very tired and unkempt, had just landed his plane at the field after setting a new speed record for flying around the world (3 days, 9 hours, and 17 minutes--more than four days faster than the old record).
