A 6-year-old boy and four others were injured in a shooting at a street party in New York City early on Monday morning, officials said.
Authorities said the shooting occurred in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, near an outdoor J'Ouvert celebration. It’s a large street party as part of Carnival in many Caribbean islands.
Two men, who were not named, were arrested, officials said.
Police told the network that it’s not clear if the shooting was connected to the J'Ouvert celebration.
“Only reason she was over here was because her daughter wasn’t answering the phone. After she spoke to her daughter, they were walking right here, and that’s when three shots went off,” a witness said. “I saw the little boy on the floor full of blood, and I ran.”
President Donald Trump appeared to weigh in on the incident.
“Rochester N.Y., Brooklyn N.Y., Portland - All had bad nights, all weakly run by Radical Left Democrat Governors and Mayors! Get the picture?” he wrote on Twitter.
