On the night of 4 July, a man wearing a black ski mask opened fire on a family barbecue in Coney Island, Brooklyn, leaving eight people wounded. The victims include four boys aged six, seven, 12 and 14, as well as two women, aged 21 and 25, and two men, aged 33 and 37.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters: 'An unknown male dressed in all-black and wearing a black ski mask approached the fence line and fired multiple rounds into the courtyard and then fled on foot. There is no indication at this time that there was any argument or altercation at the barbecue before the shooting occurred.'
