🌱 Woman Shot In Bed-Stuy Bodega + Bushwick Florist Robbed

Happy new year, Brooklyn! It's your host, Patrick Murray, helping to start 2022 off on the right foot with today's top three headlines from the neighborhood.

First, today's weather:

Patchy clouds with a high of 34 and a low of 30.

Here are the top stories today in Brooklyn:

1. A woman and her dog were shot to death inside a Brooklyn bodega. The 36-year-old woman was inside the store on DeKalb Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant when the suspect opened fire from outside the store. No arrests have been made in the incident. (CBS New York)
2. Police are searching for a suspect who robbed a flower shop at gunpoint on New Year's Day. A 17 year old was working at Flores Con Amor in Bushwick when the suspect walked in and demanded money, showing a firearm in his waistband. Luckily the girl was unharmed, and the suspect fled on foot with $30 cash. (CBS New York)
3. The massive renovation to the Eastern Parkway-Brooklyn Museum subway station has been completed. The large project, undertaken by Urbahn Architects and contractor Gramercy Group, included the addition of three hydraulic elevators. (Mass Transit Magazine)
