Two weekends ago, in the wee hours of Saturday morning, Nov. 3, a man walked out of the pizzeria underneath the Woodlawn 4 train station and bumped into three teenagers, all of them Hispanic.
One thing led to another, an argument ensued, and the pizza patron ended up with a bullet in his lower back. Emergency medics arrived and carted the unidentified victim to St. Barnabas, where he is expected to make a full recovery.
Police say it was the first shooting in the 52nd Precinct in three weeks, after a busy September and early October. There are no suspects at this time, but police say the investigation is ongoing.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
