Two neighborhoods on alert where some residents are nursing the wounds of recent paintball attacks.
Police believe the same group of people is responsible for at least four paintball attacks on Staten Island over the weekend.
In one of the attacks, Renee Mafaro, 45, was walking her brother’s dog at around 10:30 p.m. Saturday at Collfield and Auburn avenues in Westerleigh when an SUV carrying four males pulled up and one of them fired a paintball gun six times at her through an open window.

Not the same vehicle though....

There were three other similar incidents Friday and Saturday nights, police said. The NYPD released photos of a dark-colored GMC Terrain that it says was involved in the incidents.

Religion of peace, just going to Friday potluck dinner

They have the right to own guns. Why didn't this "retired" officer walk up and ask what were they hunting in the parking lot, instead of being a coward and letting what he felt was a potential threat go?

Two or three hadji's with what appears to be semi-automatic weapons. And you want the retired cop to walk up to them with a knife?

Ummmm...no

Of course he COULD have kept them under surveillance and followed them while on the phone with 911 until an officer with weapons could have intervened.
But calling the guy a coward for not charging into a potential gunfight w/o a gun??? ......
