Sunday's parting shot

Photo by Stacie Joy 

As of 6:30 p.m. today, the chess tables were open for business inside the Seventh Street and Avenue A entrance to Tompkins Square Park... two days after a fatal double shooting here that claimed the life of a man in his 70s.

An NYPD vehicle and two uniformed officers were in the center of the Park near where the bands were performing this afternoon, though no one was stationed at the problem area (aka "crime corner") that has been closed off several times in recent years.

    The barricades were like this as early as 1:30 pm, though I didn't get a picture. Clearly, the cops are paying close attention to this corner!
