Four people have been shot at the West Indian Parade in Crown Heights, according to police.
Shots rang out on Eastern Parkway near Franklin Ave. about 2:30 p.m. Monday, cops said. The condition of the four victims was not immediately clear.
The NYPD deployed a fleet of drones, carefully placed surveillance cameras, and a massive deployment officers to cover this weekend’s J’Ouvert celebration and West Indian Day Parade, which was marred by violence last year.
Last year’s incidents following the parade included a deadly shooting, a fight that erupted in gunfire and an incident in which a man apparently shot himself in the foot, cops said.
