It's been a while since something such as this happened:
Gambino crime family boss Frank (Franky Boy) Cali was gunned down Wednesday night in a gory hit in front of his Staten Island home, police sources said.
Cali, 53, was shot six times in the chest by a gunman in a blue pickup truck on Hilltop Terrace near Four Corners Road in Todt Hill about 9:15 p.m. Medics took him to Staten Island University Hospital, where he died.
A panicked family member called 911, telling a dispatcher Cali was run over before he was shot, though investigators were still looking into whether the gunman mowed the mobster down, sources said.
Police were searching for the pickup truck that raced from the grisly scene, sources said.
“There were like six shots, and then there were three more,” one witness, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told the Daily News. “The man was on the ground face-up. His head was by his SUV, and the truck was open.”

Cali’s distraught family members rushed outside after the shooting.
“Papa! Papa!” one man cried before lying on the grass, sobbing, the witness recounted.
One woman yelled into her phone, “Why doesn’t the ambulance come? He’s not breathing!” the witness told The News. Another woman “was just making loud noises,” the witness said. Rest of article.
What? You thought this post would be about something Southern? It's been awhile since we had a good ole fashioned mob hit.

Someone made him an offer that he couldn't refuse, but he did.
An offer he should not have refused...........
You know, we always called each other goodfellas. Like you'd say to somebody: "You're gonna like this guy, he's all right. He's a goodfella. He's one of us." You understand?
Hmmm! I wonder what he had on Hillary.
So, I guess Moose and Rocco decided not to do a "Moe Greene" on him.
"You broke my heart, Fredo. You broke my heart."
Back to the good ole days. Need more resolution like this. Never mind, we already do.
Should've gotten the shoe shine box.
This is as surprising as Wicker's vote today. Things like this don't happen like this in organised crime or politics today.
Wicker is part of the largest OC family we have. US Gubmint.
".....the grisly scene."
OMG that riveted me to my chair. Popcorn please.
He was warned to never take sides against the family....
You talkin’ to me? Are you...talkin’ to me?
Roger Wicker did the right thing. I bet he won't try to avoid giving Thompson credit.
Chalk up another one for the Clinton’s!
Lori Loughlin should send his family a thank you note for getting her off the front page
"Roger Wicker did the right thing. I bet he won't try to avoid giving Thompson credit."
Whoa! I always thought Roger was a bit of a milquetoast, but if he clipped Franky Boy AND put it off on Bennie, that's some stugots!
"he swims with the fishes"
Leave the gun. Take the canolli.
So will this start a mob war like we haven't seen in decades? Or was it internal?
