Breaking overnight: A 21-year-old man is dead and eight other people are wounded after someone opened fire on a gathering in East Harlem.
As CBS2's John Dias reported, a large group of people were gathered, possible for a late-night barbecue, when the celebration turned into a deadly shooting. A 21-year-old man was pronounced dead at Lincoln Hospital.
The other eight people -- six men and two women ranging in ages from 21 to 42 -- were listed in stable condition and expected to pull through. Most suffered graze wounds. "The emboldened individuals responsible for this are exactly who our officers are battling every day to make our city safe," said NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell."While we are making some headway against violence, we have a lot of work to do.
A gun was recovered at the scene, but it's unclear if that was the weapon used to carry out the shooting. By John Dias
