daylight

Today is the winter solstice, the day in which the sun sits directly over the equator as light begins to creep back up into the northern hemisphere, toward spring, toward summer.

A gunman opened fire in front of a Bed-Stuy deli in broad daylight yesterday, missing his intended target and striking a bystander in the shoulder and the armpit.

The men beat the victim repeatedly with a baseball bat, and stabbed him several times.
