Gambino Family Boss WHACKED last night...

[chinaski]

Neighbors on Staten Island recalled on Thursday hearing the terrifying spray of gunfire that took down Gambino crime boss Francesco “Franky Boy” Cali.

The reputed mobster, 53, was shot dead just outside his Todt Hill mansion around 9:20 p.m. Wednesday — as his wife and young children were inside.

“About 9 last night, we were watching TV and we heard, ‘Pop! Pop! Pop!’ I thought it was fireworks,” said Fred Guinta, who lives directly behind Cali’s home in the quiet, upscale neighborhood. “My wife said, ‘Those are gunshots!’ It was six or eight shots.”

The gunman ran over the bleeding Cali — who was still alive — with his blue pickup truck before fleeing, sources said.

Another neighbor who didn’t want to be named also heard the shots.

“Then I looked out and saw a blue pickup zoom past my house and fly off the block,” he said. “I looked back and saw a guy and woman screaming. I ran back inside.”

Meanwhile, a nurse at Staten Island University Hospital North said he was working in the trauma unit when Cali came in, clinging to life.

“He came in alive, a level-one trauma case,” said the male nurse, who stopped by the scene of the murder Thursday morning. “Then he was listed as ‘code infusion,’ which means we were giving him massive infusions because of the extreme blood loss. He was pronounced just after.”

Made me think of the gas station scene from Sopranos.

6-8 shots and can’t finish the job on the scene?! They don’t make hit men like they used to.

I don't think I've heard of a hitman using a pickup truck. Maybe just somebody who had huge gambling debts or something.

I keep trying to tell people to stop buying into the hype of that euro-trash 9mm round.

Yep

In my house .45 or GTFO

Had the kid just been "accepted" to a college? Did the driver of the blue truck look like a high ranking person at said college?

That has been me until the past couple of years. I've now made room for the extremely versatile 10mm. Loads that range from .40 cal type "power" to bear defense. The .45 will always be a mainstay in my arsenal though.

I have a 357 Sig and a swap out 40 S&W barrel for it and 45ACP as well. A wise man once said "a 9mm may expand but a 45 will never shrink".

Good luck finding that pickup.
