Coney Island Barbecue Shooting | Montreal News

A horrific barbecue shooting in Coney Island left eight people injured, including a six-year-old boy shot in the stomach and a 21-year-old woman in critical condition. The gunman, dressed in all black with a ski mask, opened fire before fleeing — no prior argument was reported. A TEC-9 and shell casings were found. All four children are expected to survive, while adults remain stable except the critically injured woman. Authorities are probing a possible link to a recent gang homicide on the same block. Separately, an NYPD detective was shot during a Sunday morning patrol in Brooklyn but survived thanks to his bulletproof vest; the 18-year-old suspect was taken into custody after a tense standoff. Both incidents underscore the escalating violence and danger faced by communities and officers during holiday weekends.
