Even with a massive NYPD deployment over the Labor Day weekend, gun violence had still left its mark by late Monday, with one dead and 11 wounded in separate shootings — in Brooklyn, amid the waning moments of the West Indian Day Parade, and in the Bronx, outside a bodega, officials said Tuesday.
Seven people, ranging in ages from 14 to 53 years old, suffered gunshot wounds Monday evening in Brooklyn at various points near the parade route as the procession was ending, according to the NYPD. In three of the shootings, the department said, the last parade float had already passed and sanitation crews were doing street cleaning.
All of the wounded in Brooklyn were taken to area hospitals in stable condition, officials said.
The Bronx shootings took place by a bodega on Allerton Avenu
