Tossed Milkshake Led To Brooklyn Shooting, Witnesses Say

NY1News

Community leaders want those who know who shot five people in Brooklyn Saturday afternoon to come forward.

Police say shots rang out around 2:15 p.m. near Knickerbocker Avenue and Menahan Street in Bushwick.

Police say three men and two women, who range in age from 22 to 62, were hit.

Witnesses say all the victims are related, and the shooting stemmed from an argument one of them had with the shooter on Friday.
