NYPD: 9 shot at Brooklyn house party

NEW YORK (AP) — Gunfire broke out at a backyard party in Brooklyn overnight, injuring nine people, police said.

Sgt. Daniel Doody of the New York Police Department said the shooting happened at about 2:15 a.m. Sunday in the East New York section after an argument. Nine people were taken to hospitals with gunshot wounds, but all their injuries are not life-threatening. Doody said four others were taken to hospitals with cuts and bruises from the melee.

He said the gunmen have not been arrested, and no additional information is available.

A witness told The New York Post he was heading to the store when he heard more than five shots.

Faylo Alston said he saw partygoers lying on the ground until the shooting stopped, and then “everyone scattered.”
