My school under heavy gang fire....

Three Brentwood schools were locked down Thursday after gunfire broke out between two gangs on a residential street a short distance from where students were outside for a gym class, officials said.

Suffolk police said the altercation took place on Stein Drive at 12:50 p.m., less than 200 feet from the district high school's athletic field.

A 19-year-old sitting in a white Honda was stabbed in the left forearm with a long machete or sword, police said. A member of the victim's gang then fired at the other group, striking a neighbor's white vinyl fence and a parked car.

The stabbing victim, who police declined to identify, was driven to Southside Hospital and was listed in serious condition. Second Squad Det. Sgt. Thomas Groneman said the teen had a severed tendon and nerves and needed surgery.

The sword or machete had gone "completely through his arm," Groneman said.

Meanwhile, a patrol officer answering another call saw the shooting suspect get into a car with his weapon. The officer gave chase for three blocks when the car came to a stop at Bishop Road and Ninth Avenue. Groneman said the suspect fled from the scene and into a wooded lot. Police scoured the area with helicopters and search dogs but were unable to locate him.

Brentwood Superintendent Michael Cohen said the district ordered lockdowns at the high school, South Middle School, and Oak Park Elementary. The lockdowns were lifted at 2 p.m., but all after-school programs were canceled, he said.

Police cordoned off at least three blocks along Stein Drive yesterday afternoon and recovered baseball bats, several knives and expended shotguns at the scene. As children arrived home on the street, police officers could be seen escorting them off the bus, through the crime scene and to their parents.

Residents said the block is frequented by students coming to and from the high school, and they often get into tiffs.


I was in the gym class mentioned. We saw the guy get his arm cut off then the gunshots being fired(about 15 shots) and we ran inside. The gym teacher told us to run in first and he made sure none of the students got hurt. It was a gang fight, no one knows what gangs were involved. It was crazy I ran so fast from an adrenaline rush. The school went under immediate lockdown and the superintendent ordered that all brentwood schools cancel ALL after school activities. YAY for me(only about the after school activities) because I don't have detention!! W00T. Anyways, the guy who got his arm cut off is still in the hospital. I can tell you this, we couldn't even take the normal bus. All the buses were taken back to their storage and the police ordered police buses to pick us up, armed with police officers throughout the bus. 15 students to a bus. 10 cops to a bus. Its the not the craziest thing that ever happened in Brentwood... but sure was crazy. I remember when 2,500 houses were set ablaze and there was a gang fight the size of a battle of superpower nations were the last of the houses were set ablaze. Amazingly I am in the 'good' area of brentwood, although the problem is no cops are allowed in our area..... so if anythign hapens the only emergency vehicles allowed to enter is fire trucks and ambulances..... So what does everyone think.. should I goto school tomorrow despite being locked in the building and being escorted by police?
