A mass shooting rocked Brooklyn’s West Indian Day Parade on Monday, wounding six people — including one with life-threatening injuries, authorities said.
Shots rang out at around 2:35 p.m. on Sept. 2 at 307 Eastern Pkwy. in Crown Heights along the parade route as the march processed. Cops say six people were injured in the incident.
According to law enforcement sources, one man suffered a gunshot wound to the head, another was struck in the arm, and a third was hit in the torso.
Another man was struck in the arm, authorities said. A woman was also shot in the shoulder.
Police did not immediately have information regarding the other victims.
The shooting cast a pall upon what is one of Brooklyn’s biggest cultural events. Tens of thousands of marchers and spectators participated in the colorful event, and the NYPD had beefed up security in an effort to prevent gun violence and other criminal incidents that had occurred during or before the parade in recent years.
NYPD officials are expected to release more details during a press conference Monday afternoon.
