Black Friday BS...


An elderly Queens man was shot for his new flat-screen TV Friday - but the 47-inch set was too big for the robbers' getaway car.

Three bandits ambushed Bentley White, 64, in his Cambria Heights home about 8:30 a.m. and shot him in the stomach, police said.

The trigger-happy dimwits had their eye on his TV set, but apparently didn't plan ahead.

"I saw three guys fumbling with a box outside by the lamp post," said neighbor Dudley Young, 63. "I saw them fighting over it."

Dudley said the robbers couldn't fit the oversized box into their car - and fled without it, dumping it on 223rd St.

No one has been arrested.

Bentley had surgery and was in stable condition at Jamaica Hospital.

"He didn't deserve this," said relative who didn't want his last name used.

The robbery was one of several holiday weekend crimes around the city.

In East Flatbush, a 41-year-old man was fatally shot death in a parking lot behind Club Nocturnal on Flatbush Ave., police said. He died at Kings County Hospital.

In Bedford-Stuyvesant, a teenager was shot in the head but survived, relatives said.

Daiquan Ellerby, 18, and his older brother, Jayson, were approached by a group on Patchen Ave. about 12:30 a.m. One shot Daiquan in the head.

"We was just standing, and they shot," said Jayson Ellerby. "That's all - they didn't say anything. They just shot!"

Daiquan had surgery at Kings County.

No one has been arrested in either shooting.
