Brooklyn Wept: Palm Sunday Massacre Day 10: 12 Nightmares Before Christmas

On the 10th Nightmare Before Christmas…

Palm Sunday is usually a day of hope and reflection, but in 1984,  East New York faced a horror it would never forget. Families were at home, children played, and neighbors went about their day, but inside 1080 Liberty Avenue, everything changed. Ten lives were lost in a single, shocking act of violence.

The house was ordinary, the people inside were ordinary, yet by the end of the day, the community would never be the same.
