NEW YORK — Nine people were shot in Harlem early Monday, one fatally, police said.
The victims, seven men and two women, appear to have been gathered at a barbecue when shots rang out about 12:40 a.m., police said.
‘’The emboldened individuals responsible for this are exactly who our officers are battling every day to make our city safe,” Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said at pre-dawn press conference near the scene at 139th St. and Fifth Ave.
