Shot dead playing a video game

BY KERRY BURKE and ROBERT F. MOORE
NY DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS

Woman who said victim was father of her baby is held back by friends and kin.  

A gunman calmly walked into a Queens barbershop yesterday and fatally shot a young father who was playing an arcade game, cops and witnesses said.
"He had his hand in his jacket," said Ed Vaness, 22, of Queens, who was getting a haircut at Fanatic International Unisex Barbershop in Laurelton when the gunman strolled in around 2:30p.m.

"He didn't say anything. He just popped him."

The victim, whose name wasn't released, was playing an NBA Live 2005 video game when he was shot in the Merrick Blvd. shop.

Cops arrived to find the victim, in his 20s, known to friends as Surf, crumpled near the back of the storefront.

A distraught woman tried to get into the shop but was stopped by officers guarding the crime scene.

"That's my baby's father!" she screamed.


Hours after the shooting, relatives said they were too upset to talk. The victim had two children and often went to the barbershop to hang out, neighbors said.

Police said the victim apparently was targeted for death. The suspect was in the shop a few hours before the shooting, left and came back firing, a police source said.

Detectives questioned a man in the shooting but didn't immediately report an arrest.

Gino Colombari, 70, who runs a nearby liquor store and owns the building that houses the barbershop, ran outside after hearing the commotion.

"Now everybody's scared," he said.

"I'm scared."

"Marry Your Baby Daddy" despite ZERO committment to a relationship with either the mother or the child.  THAT's going to be a great solution.

When are we gonna have "Happy 12th Birfday, here's your Depo shot!" day?

That second story about the man being shot in Queens can't be true.  After all, aren't handguns banned in NYC?  It's supposed to be really safe there.

Is this an actual term that's used in society somewhere?

Baby Daddy?

Is that like Puff Daddy?
or sugar Daddy?

Is it just an immature guy who didn't wear a condom?
I'm so confused.

The biggest problem in finding the daddy will be narrowing it down between the basketball and football team.
