NEW YORK - Two men and two women were shot early Monday during a candlelight vigil in a New York City neighborhood, authorities said.

The vigil was being held for a neighbor who had died. Police said that person had died of natural causes and was not a victim of violence, WPIX reported.

"They were just trying to celebrate the little guy over there that just died of cancer and you see all this shooting out here," neighbor Douglas McLough told WABC.

The four victims were in stable condition Monday morning, The Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported. According to authorities, a 33-year-old man was shot in the chest, a 24-year-old man was shot in the leg, a woman in her 40s was shot in the back and another woman in her 40s was shot in the leg, WPIX reported.

Was the shooter an evil white guy also?

No, wait. Candles. Yeah, that’s it. Candles.

Does this meet the definition of “mass shooting”?

What crazy, evil person would go and shoot people at a vigil?

I hope the police will get him soon.

Who could possibly vote against common sense gun control when unarmed people are gunned down at a candlelight vigil?

With the non-stop blather on Fox News, most of it hypothetical, 24/7...I am surprised more narcissistic copy cat nits aren’t trying for their 24 hour bit of fame.

If he had been white it would have appeared in the first paragraph AND the New York Times would have covered the story first.

This copycat thing is very scary.

Meanwhile, here in our sleepy town of Williamsport, PA, we have had two fatal shootings on the last 2 weekends. Four shot and killed since summer began. Our population is about 30,000.

It is happening everywhere.

Three or more people shot at the same place in the same incident.
