Ten people are recovering from gunshot injuries following a shooting that occurred late Saturday night in the New York City borough of Queens. During a news conference on Sunday, New York Police Department officials said that the incident occurred just after 10:30 p.m. when two male suspects began firing at another group of people.

Chief of Detectives James Essig said that at around 10:40 p.m. on Saturday night two male suspects brandished their guns and began firing in the direction of a group of people who were in front of a barber shop down the street. The two male suspects immediately fled the scene after hopping on two scooters being driven by the other two male suspects. Police said that 10 individuals had been shot. The ages of the victims ranged from 19 to 72 years old.

Detective Essig said that three of the victims were known Trinitarios gang members, which police believe were the intended targets of the shooting, and that police believed the other seven victims were unintended targets. None of the injuries were life-threatening, police said.

Check out the trailer for Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” featuring Steve Martin, Selena Gomez, and Martin Short

shutterstock_369397232

Steve Martin, Selena Gomez, and Martin Short investigate a strange killing in the new trailer for Only Murders in the Building, a new series premiering August 31st on Hulu.

Set in a swanky apartment building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the show stars Martin, Gomez, and Short as three strangers who come together after one of their neighbors is killed. Along with trying to investigate the crime, the trio also decides to document their efforts in their own true-crime podcast.

The trailer teases an absolutely ridiculous investigation that includes Martin’s character trying to photograph his neighbors by capturing them in the background of his incredibly conspicuous selfies, and Short instructing a distraught tenant to enunciate better for the podcast. Sting even makes a cameo as a prime suspect, prompting Gomez’s character to quip, “The guy from U2?”

Martin co-created and wrote Only Murders in the Building with John Hoffman. The series will premiere with the first three episodes, with new episodes arriving every Tuesday after that.

RIVERVIEW HEALTH ESTABLISHES GLENMORE SCHOLARSHIP

The Glenmore Foundation recently established an addiction scholarship program through the RiverView Foundation in an effort to provide advanced training for professional development to those serving the therapeutic needs of individuals and families suffering from the disease of addiction.

The scholarship will be given to students seeking a degree and/or licensure in the field of addiction studies, addiction counseling, co-occurring disorder treatment or mental/chemical health fields. Preference for the four, $2,500 scholarships will go to candidates intending to work in the Northwestern Minnesota region.

“Addiction is a family disease,’’ stated RiverView Recovery Center Director Curtis Hamre, LADC. “This generous scholarship program is an investment in the future care of those suffering from the disease of addiction. These scholarships are an essential tool in ensuring that our family and community members have access to dedicated, professional staff, giving exceptional care through evidence-based therapies, attaining exceptional outcomes in sobriety and recovery.”

Hamre and members of the Glenmore Foundation believe the scholarship program can help with the shortage of addiction counselors in the area. “The challenge of overcoming chemical dependency is, in and of itself, full of obstacles for a person on the road to recovery,’’ shared Stephen D. Larson, chair of the Glenmore Foundation Board. “The lack of consistent, quality access to chemical health providers creates an additional obstacle for people struggling with chemical dependency, which is especially true of rural Minnesota. Implementing a scholarship program, and other incentives, to retain quality chemical dependency providers is one of the steps to which Glenmore Foundation is committed in attempting to overcome this obstacle.”

Thanks to the Glenmore Foundation’s gift of $10,000, any donations given to this scholarship program through the RiverView Foundation will be matched, making an even bigger impact on the community, shared RiverView Foundation Director Randy Schoenborn If you are interested in applying for the Glenmore Foundation/RiverView Recovery Center Scholarship, applications are available by calling Schoenborn at 218.281.9249, by email at rschoenborn@riverviewhealth.org, or by visiting RiverView’s website at www.riverviewhealth.org under the Scholarship heading.
