An early Saturday morning shooting, on Utica Avenue, in Crown Heights, Brooklyn has left four people dead and three people wounded–at what authorities are describing as an illegal gambling site.
Mayor Bill de Blasio posted a statement on Twitter saying, “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it until I can’t anymore: we have an epidemic of gun violence that spares no community – and it won’t stop until we get guns off our streets once and for all.”
Attorney General Letitia James also released a statement saying, “Once again, senseless gun violence in our communities has claimed the lives of several individuals. The shooting this morning in Crown Heights is deeply upsetting, and we hope that those injured will make full and speedy recoveries. As the details are still unfolding, I urge anyone with information to please contact the NYPD at 1-800-577-TIPS.”
