AT least eight people including four children have been left injured after a shooting rampage at a Fourth of July fireworks display in Brooklyn.
GunsH๏τs rang out at around 10:30pm local time before local cops rushed to the scene and carried several young victims away in their arms.
The terrifying shooting unfolded at 2930 W. 30th St. near Surf Ave, Coney Island, close to a boardwalk where a fireworks display took place just before the ordeal, police say.
The victims include four boys aged 14, 12, seven, and six, two men aged 37 and 33, and two women aged 25 and 21.
The 21-year-old women is in critical condition, while the other seven victims are said to be stable.
Dramatic footage showed police swarming the scene outside Seapark Apartments – at several points holding wounded kids.
A deli worker on the corner told the New York Post: “When I see in the camera I see the cops running with the kids in their hands.
“When I went out I saw one kid was going into the ambulance and I was told there were four inside.”
It is unclear how many suspects there are or why the individual or group decided to open fire.
A local called Mackenzie said: “It’s so sad they won’t enjoy themselves without them killing each other.
“This building is always partying. I came home to have fun and now this. This building always has some trouble.”
The deli worker on the corner added: “The cops, they say they found a book bag with a gun under the trees.
“I was scared to be honest. I think there was more than one shooter with so many [that were] hit.”
All of the victims were rushed to local hospitals.
Cops are continuing to investigate the exact circumstances of the shooting.
The New York Police Department said: “All victims were transported by EMS to local area hospitals where seven people were listed in stable condition.
“The 21-year-old woman is listed in critical condition.”
