Crazed Fourth of July black gunman crashes Brooklyn barbecue, wounded seven, Gun laws useless as ususual.

[Democrat Pets On The Loose]

A crazed Independence Day gunman turned a fun-filled Brooklyn
barbecue into a blood-soaked shooting gallery with seven people
wounded — all because he wasn’t allowed to join the party,
officials said Tuesday.

The deranged party crasher opened fire through the fence barring
him from the 11:30 p.m. celebration in a small grassy lot next
to a Chauncey St. building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, authorities
said.

The fence was covered with a tarp while revelers as young as 14
celebrated the Fourth of July as well as a resident’s
graduation, police sources said.

“As soon as the fireworks stopped, the gunfire started,” said
neighbor Sam Weaver, 43.

When the smoke cleared, four men and three women — the youngest
17, the oldest 20 — were hospitalized with gunshot wounds, cops
said.

One of the victims, a 20-year-old woman, was shot in the right
cheek, police said. Weaver’s 19-year-old son, Sam Jr., was shot
in the back, Weaver said.

The other five victims were shot in the arms, legs, hand,
shoulder and arm, cops said. All are expected to survive,
although one was in critical condition.

Cops were looking for the triggerman Tuesday. Investigators are
also trying to determine whether the shooting was gang related.

The gunplay was one of a dozen shootings to take place on July
4. Twenty people were wounded in the incidents, eight of which
took place in Brooklyn, officials said. The remaining four took
place in Jamaica, Queens, Staten Island and Harlem.

Gunfire was heard over the sound of fireworks beginning at 1:02
a.m., when a 23-year-old man was shot in the left arm on Avenue
U in Gravesend, officials said.

Shootings continued sporadically throughout the day, ending at
11:45 p.m., when an 18-year-old woman hobbled into Brookdale
University Medical Center and said that she had been shot in the
ankle at E. 92nd St. and Foster Ave. in Canarsie, officials said.

Victims included an off-duty city correction officer, who was
shot in the leg during a robbery on 113th Ave. in Jamaica,
Queens, officials said.

No arrests have been made in any of the shootings, officials
said. None of the victims suffered life-threatening wounds.

Chauncey St. residents blame the gunplay on a lack of cops in
the area.

“I can’t say (the cops) are not doing their job, but this block
used to have a lot more police presence,” said Ted McQueen, who
rented out the lot for the party. “For a lot of the summer,
there used to be foot patrols, so we got to see a lot of
(police), and I always considered it a deterrent.”

Others chalked the violence up to a typical summer in the city.

“It’s Brooklyn, baby,” said Chauncey St. resident Ciaula Suella,
33. “Thank God no one was killed. And that’s only because those
punks don’t know how to shoot right.”

Despite the violence, shootings in the city remain down by
nearly 20%, according to police. As of Sunday night, 445
shootings had taken place this year — 110 fewer than the same
period in 2015.

There have also been 40 fewer shooting victims — from 569 by
July 2015 to 529 this year, statistics show.

This past Independence Day fared far better than previous Fourth
of July weekends, when there were 30 shootings in 2012. In 2010,
25 shootings occurred.

“One shooting is too many, but perspective is also important,”
NYPD spokesman Peter Donald said. “In most other major cities in
America, violent crime is up, but not in New York, where we
continue to defy that national trend.”

Lying sacks of shit. Democrats are fudging the numbers on
crimes.
