Cops: Firemen's Park Shooting Appears to Be Non-Criminal

A shooting at Firemen's Park in Lindenhurst on Tuesday evening appears not to be the result of criminal activity, according to Suffolk Police officials on the scene.

Reports of gun shots in the area near the basketball courts of the park prompted Suffolk Police to summon several police cruisers and detectives along with the Crime Scene Unit to investigate and cordon off the parking lot adjacent to the courts.

Police on the scene refused to comment any further about the shooting.

Suffolk Police are asking for the public's help in tracking down a man who robbed a Deer Park business last month and then burglarized the business owner's home a week later.

Police said the owner of the business, which was not identified, was approached by two men who assaulted him and stole cash and his driver’s license on Dec. 12 around 8:30 p.m.

Nine days later, police say, one of the men forced their way into the North Bay Shore home of the business owner and demanded the occupants tell them the whereabouts of the business owner.
