Driver Gunned Down in Brooklyn



NEW YORK (AP)  -- Police are searching for the person who pulled up beside an SUV driver and shot him to death in Brooklyn.

The NYPD says 39-year-old Ramon Blas was hit in the torso on Tuesday.

Witnesses say the dying man drove a short distance and slammed into a parked car.

Then he got out and staggered into a parked van. That driver ran for help.

The drama unfolded across the street from a campaign office of now-defeated mayoral candidate William Thompson Jr.

A campaign volunteer, Juan Beltran, offered first aid assistance. But police said the man was already dead.
