Overnight, there was a “hostage situation” on Ninth Street in Park Slope between Seventh and Eighth Avenues. What was described as a family dispute escalated into shots being fired and a standoff with a lot of police officers. “The yuppified Sunday evening calm in Park Slope has been shattered after a man became enraged, intoxicated, and fired a gun in his home on 9th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues sparking a police standoff.”–Gridskipper & Gothamist
