Hi all. It's me, Debora Whitehead, your host of the Shirley-Mastic Daily — back in your inbox with all the most important things happening locally. Today you'll read about the following:

• Read a Patch article about gang activity on LI.
• Sexual Health treatment is now offered for women at a nearby OBGYN office.
• Bingo at the MMSCL and more!

But first, today's weather:

Breezy. High: 38, low: 26.

Here are the top four stories in Shirley-Mastic today:

1. According to authorities, eighteen people have been connected to violent gang activities, including the teenager involved in a shooting in Shirley. The gangs have been identified as “No Fake Love" or “NFL.” Shirley-Mastic Patch has the whole story. (Shirley-Mastic Patch)
2. Mastic-Moriches-Shirley Community Library is hosting a Bingo party on Friday! There are a few spots for those who want to come out at 5:45 p.m. to earn prizes while having fun! Visit the link I've shared to register today! (MMSCL)
3. Suffolk police are seeking a man who slashed the tires of seven cars in a parking lot. The vehicles were parked in the Suffolk County Department of Social Services parking lot. Cameras showed the suspect on a skateboard dressed in a gray hoodie and black pants. Visit the link to see a picture of the suspect and help police to identify him. (News 12 Brooklyn)
