Three men shot in broad daylight along a parade route in Brooklyn Monday were among more than 40 injured by gunfire during a Labor Day weekend of violence.
The latest violence came Monday evening when police say a NYPD officer was shot in the arm. Two other civilians were shot dead along Park Place in the Crown Heights neighborhood. Another person was in critical condition after being shot, sources said.
Earlier in the afternoon, police said two men were shot -- one in the leg, and one in the stomach -- along the West Indian Day Parade on Eastern Parkway. Police chased the suspect, who fled on foot. The suspect remains at large.
A third victim was shot in the leg later in the afternoon.
The victims were brought to Kings County Hospital.
Since Saturday morning, there have been at least 46 people shot in the city, with one other fatality.
Four men were shot at a barbecue in East Flatbush early Monday morning; 17-year-old Tyrief Gary was shot in the chest and killed.
At the Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn Sunday morning, Mayor Bloomberg spoke out against the incidents over the weekend, which at that point was at 25.
"There are just too many guns on the streets and we have to do something about it," he said, and urged for more federal control and stricter gun control laws across the country.
If only New York had gun control...
Is the Crown Heights neighborhood where all the violent Tea Party people live?
Maybe the Amish?
NYC has gun control.
It needs Democrat control.
Translation: "Let's make more places just like New York City, because it's working so much better here than elsewhere across the country."
Except that it isn't.
Why are New Yorkers so violent?
Democrats are violent.
US prisons are overflowing with Democrats that have been convicted of violent crimes.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Once again - What is the shooting of 46 people in one weekend in Da Big Sh*tty called?
A start.
PS If Bloomie wants to take the guns from the ghetto trash, by all means he should be encouraged to so do.
May I have the video rights?
Typical Marxist, anti-Constitutional, police state politician response. What a putz.
Ah, diversity! The more diversity we have, da vorse things get.
Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck.
How many were stabbed or hit by cars?
Wonder how many of those were whites shooting whites?
Car 54 where are you?
NYC: The city that has a parade for every country on earth except the United States.
Maybe it was Jimmy Hoffa starting his war.
Indeed....LOL.
Bloomy will have to do something about *more* about that.
How about house to house searches?
After a deep analysis. zero. But liberal whites are the cause.
This ain’t nothing. Watch what happens if the Knicks win the NBA championship this season.
Not one gun was legally owned. He needs to preach to his judges and cops and stop telling the rest of us what we should do. If he believes so fervently he should use his money on gun buy backs help him relate with the people who can’t afford private security once his money is equal to ours eh?
