CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn — A reveler at the West Indian Day parade was shot twice in the leg, and three people were taken into custody for questioning, police said.

The 26-year-old man, who was not named, was taken to a hospital in stable condition after being shot at about 4 p.m. Monday, on Eastern Pkwy and Troy Ave,

In previous years, the event has been marred by tragedy. In 1999, two children died when they were pinned between floats, and hours later a man was run over by a float and killed. In 2005, a man was shot to death.

Last year, police had two reports of violence: a man shot in the leg and another person stabbed.

PERTH, WA, Australia — Jews in the Australian Outback? It sounds like a Jewish joke, right? Wrong.

Had history turned out differently, there would have been a Jewish colony in the desolate far north of Western Australia, where 75,000 Jews from Nazi Europe would have been resettled with Aborigines as neighbours.

Dubbed the “Kimberley Project”, the little-known plan was quashed by Australian prime minister John Curtin in 1944.
