'Law and Order' Set Turns Deadly: Production Member Shot Dead, Gunman Still At Large [Details]
A 31-year-old man was fatally shot early Tuesday morning in Brooklyn, according to authorities. The crime happened just outside of Law & Order set.

The Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment had posted a notice on the block, stating that filming of the third-season episode would begin at 6 a.m. Monday evening at 10 p.m., all non-production-related vehicles were scheduled to be removed from the area.
The victim was seated in a car, with a traffic cone on the roof, when the assailant opened the door and shot him in the head and neck.The man was taken by EMS to a local hospital, where he died. His name was not made public.
It was not immediately apparent whether any other production personnel were present during the shooting.
The gunman escaped. No arrests have been made yet, so it means the shooter is still at large. The police are scanning the neighborhood for anything that will assist them in identifying the shooter.
The victim, a resident of Queens, had a criminal record, but it was not immediately apparent whether or not his history had any connection to the shooting.
