Norwood residents got a good scare Tuesday morning, when emergency vehicles arrived at a construction site at 3524 Hull Ave. to remove what they thought might be a missile. Found in a dumpster by workers at the building, it turned out to be an inert artillery shell, the NYPD said.

Shane Barker, a 16-year-old University Heights resident, does not usually use Devoe Park, the triangular and hilly green space that sits on the corner of Fordham Road and University Avenue and is just blocks from his home. But today is different. It’s a gorgeous, sunny Saturday morning and Shane, sporting cornrows and the wispy beginnings of facial hair, is one of 70 kids participating in a newly-formed basketball program created by a Bronx-based group called the New York City Christian Athletic League.

Police in the 52nd Precinct arrested a teenager they say is responsible for a triple shooting in a University Heights park earlier this month that left two young men dead and a third person wounded. On April 7, police officers responded to a report of a male shot on the basketball court inside Devoe Park, which sits on the northwest corner of Fordham Road and University Avenue. When the officers arrived just before 8 p.m., they discovered three victims who were then transported to St. Barnabas Hospital.
