Hey kids, play inside where it is safe

Eighty-three years ago today in Harlem a group of children came face to face with gangland when they encountered twenty-four year old Anthony Sancione in the hallway of a tenement with two bullets in his head. The kids fetched a policeman who found that Anthony was still alive. An ambulance was called but the wounded man died en-route to the hospital. His record showed that he had been arrested numerous times but never convicted.
