(Wall Street Journal) — The shooting of a police officer in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, on Monday night punctuated a Labor Day weekend burst of violence that left at least 10 dead and more than 50 injured since Friday morning. An innocent woman sitting on her stoop and two men with guns were killed in the Monday evening shootout, officials said. One police officer was shot in the arm, another was wounded by bullet fragments. What started as a fistfight in an apartment building on Park Place turned into a gunfight that spilled out into street, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said at a press conference early Tuesday morning at Brookdale University Hospital, where one of the officers was being treated.
