LONG BRANCH Sixteen-year-old Daryl was stand-ing on the footpath in front of his multi-family homewhen he heard what he thought were firecrackers com-ing out of the darkness all around him.
He soon learned that it wasnt firecrackers it wasgunshots. A barrage of bullets sprayed Coleman Ave-nue, which still was teeming with small children play-ing in their yards when the shots rang out about 9 p.m.Wednesday, wounding three men. One remains hospi-talized.
Honestly, I didnt see a body until (others) pointed itout, said Daryl, whose last name is being withheld.Im thinking its fireworks, looking around. At first, Iwasnt taking it as seriously as it was because I didntthink it was a shooting. ... Nobody expected it, it was justa regular day, kids running around, having fun, playingin the yard. And then the worst happened.
Police responded in force after the shooting, swarm-
