One person was killed and four others were injured when an unknown group shot and killed a group of people on the Coney Island boardwalk in Brooklyn, New York City, one of the city’s most popular summer destinations.
Witnesses said the shooting took place on West 29th Street near the homes of Coney Island, a public housing complex in the city.
Police said the incident is still under investigation, while onlookers at the sports stadium said they heard several shots and initially thought it was fireworks.
A spokesman said: “No one has been arrested yet, and the police have not released a description of the escaped shooter because there is not enough information yet, including the reasons for the shooting, whether more than one gunman was involved, and whether the attack was a targeted one.
The incident is the second of its kind on the famous Coney Island boardwalk in New York City this summer, where a gunman last month opened fire on a crowd of people celebrating late at night at the same location on West 21st Street and the boardwalk, injuring five people.
