Gunman Opened Fire: Soroush Farazmand

Soroush Farazmand: Siavash Karampour and Koory Mirzeai of the Yellow Dogs weren't home when a gunman opened fire at their Brooklyn row house on Monday. But fellow band members and brothers Arash and Soroush Farazmand were shot to death, along with their roommate Ali Eskandarian, by an ex-member of another Iranian band, the Free Keys, police said. The gunman then shot himself on the roof, according to Times Colonist. "For now, it's impossible to even manage a future without our friends, and no explanation can make sense or begin to justify what has happened in our lives," Karampour and Mirzeai said in a statement. "To say we are heartbroken does not come close and NEW YORK, N.Y. - The surviving members of an Iranian indie rock band said Wednesday they are "paralyzed with grief" over the shooting deaths of their drummer and guitarist and another friend at their Brooklyn apartment. The band members said they met in Iran in 2006, and worked together to build an underground venue where they would play shows. They were striving to make a community in the U.S. after moving to New York to have more freedom to play. Their apartment was a hangout for artists, friends and musicians. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
