6 year old boy shot during Brooklyn J'Ourvet celebration
A 6-year-old boy who was shot in the leg was among five people injured in a shooting that occurred during a celebration that has often been marred by violence.
Police said. A 47-year-old woman and three men, ranging in age from 34 to 45, also suffered gunshot wounds in their legs and feet. All five were taken to a hospital with injuries not considered to be life threatening.
The boy and four others were in a crowd in Brooklyn during J'Ourvet, a celebration of West Indian heritage that takes place before dawn followed by the West Indian Day Parade on Labor Day in New York.
However, the parade was canceled this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Two men were arrested and two guns were recovered, New York City Police Chief Terence Monahan tweeted. He also called the shooting "senseless" and asked anyone with information to contact police.
