A gunman targeting a specific group of people opened fire along the parade route in Brooklyn around 2:35 p.m., NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said. The parade had kicked off hours earlier, with thousands of revelers dancing and marching down Eastern Parkway, a main thoroughfare through the borough. It was expected to continue into the night.

"This was not random," Chell said. "This was an intentional act by one person towards a group of people. We do not by no means have any active shooter or anything of that nature running around Eastern Parkway as we speak. The parade is going on and will go on until later on tonight."
“這不是隨機(jī)的，”切爾說?！斑@是一個人對一群人的故意行為。我們絕對沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)任何活躍的槍手或任何類似的東西在東大道附近奔跑。游行正在進(jìn)行中，并將持續(xù)到今晚晚些時候?！?/p>
