Authorities unveiled two indictments Wednesday against members of the 900 street gang, which run various crews throughout Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights and are responsible for at least 13 acts of violence in the last year, including two murders, officials said.
The indictments are a major breakthrough in law enforcement s efforts to curb an ongoing shooting surge that escalated in the borough last year, according to Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez.
