Six adolescents were injured in a shooting outside a party venue in New York early Sunday morning, according to the police. The gunfire erupted around 1:00 a.m. local time after a birthday party ended at an event space in the Cypress Hills neighborhood of Brooklyn, a New York City Police Department spokesperson said. The victims, aged 15 to 17, were taken to the hospital and are all in stable condition, the police reported. Jessica Tisch, Commissioner of the New York City Police Department, revealed during a press conference that security camera footage shows two unidentified men walking towards the venue before opening fire on the crowd. "The two individuals drew firearms and fired multiple shots into a crowd gathered outside the venue," she continued, adding that the suspects then fled on foot. Tisch stated that the exact motive is currently unknown, but it appears to be related to gang activity. An investigation is underway, the police confirmed.
