Via Daily News:
A gunman opened fire on two men as they swam for their lives in the waters off a Brooklyn beach on Saturday, killing one and critically wounding the other, cops and witnesses said.
The shooting began after an argument erupted on the docks of Venice Marina in Sheepshead Bay between three men.
When two of the men got on their boat, the third pulled a gun and started firing, witnesses said.
“They jumped out of the boat,” said Frank Dogali, 57, who was washing his boat after a day fishing with his son.
“He was shooting at them in the water,” he said. “The guy reloaded and started shooting again.”
When one of the men surfaced for air, the cold-blooded shooter was waiting.
“The guy stuck his head out of the water to get some air,” the witness said. “And the shooter startled him, ran around and pumped three shots into him.”
The shooter continued firing at the men until his pistol ran out of bullets. Then he grabbed his shirt and a knapsack and fled the scene, witnesses said.

Oh my goodness. This cannot be real. What is going on?
Wow, stuff like this makes me glad I don’t live in Brooklyn anymore. Then again, this crazy crap happens everywhere. The world has gone nuts. I foresee incidents like this occurring more often as the economy spirals down the toilet and people start cracking under the pressure to survive. My condolences to the family of the victim.
Holy crap. Someone so determined to kill doesn’t sound like something that happened randomly. I gotta say, sounds like a hit to me.
shoot that biatch!!!!!
I hope the other one survives.
There were witnesses, so this crime will be solved.
It doesn’t seem to have been a planned murder. But until we know all the details we can’t be sure.
Lisanne! Witnesses mean nothing. Ask any student out of John Jay. While witnesses are useful for building an investigation and stearing it in the right direction they are one of the most unreliable sources of information a prosecutor could have to put someone in prison.
Everyday more and more people walk out of prison because modern day scientific evidence (like DNA) vindicate people convicted in crimes via eye witness testimony.
Hopefully that guy that shot them left a cigarette butt or something else. I can only imagine he grabbed his shirt to help prevent DNA identification.
I heard it wasnt only because of a jet ski..these guys lived that kinda life..im sorry for what happend..but if you live by tghe sword you die by the sword. I also believe the killer was russian so im guessing he was involved with the russian mob..those guys dont play.
