For many years, Anniversary Day was a major event for those who came of age in the neighborhoods of Brooklyn and Queens. Traditionally celebrated on the first Thursday in June, unless it coincided with Memorial Day week, in which case it was moved to the second Thursday, it was a cherished day off from school, filled with festivities that left lasting memories.

The NYPD opened fire on a car theft crew who were caught in the act of stealing vehicles in Flushing on Friday morning.

Police from the 109th Precinct responded to a 911 call of a burglary in progress at around 5:30 a.m. at the Express Auto Repair shop at 134-02 33rd Ave. Officers encountered a group of ten men who were in possession of firearms in a parking area near the intersection of Prince Street and 33rd Avenue. As the officers approached on foot, the gunmen jumped into several vehicles and attempted to flee at a high rate of speed toward the officers, an NYPD spokesman said. One officer discharged his service weapon as the vehicles fled northbound on Miller Street toward 32nd Avenue.
