Sunday Morning News! Shots Fired At Marco Polo Ristorante On Court Street

This morning, Pardon Me For Asking received an email alerting us to the fact that there was quite a police presence at the corner of Union and Court Streets in front of Marco Polo Ristorante. Apparently, someone had shot through the front door of the Carroll Gardens Italian eatery.

We took the photos above at about 11 am, shortly after receiving the email. Sure enough, there are two very visible bullet holes in the front façade of the restaurant, one in the front door, one in the large glass window facing Court Street. The police had left by then, but Marco Polo's staff was cleaning up inside and was busy taping menus and restaurant reviews over the bullet holes

An employee at Parks Natural across the street told us that police were there when she showed up for work early this morning.

Does anyone know when this incident actually occurred or has any information?

Update:
+++ I heard from two sources that the shooting happened at about 6 am and that more than two shots were fired.
