John Chell, the NYPD Chief of Patrol, informed reporters during a 4 p.m. briefing that "of the five, two are critical and three are expected to survive." Four men and one woman were among the injured, according to Chell.
Chell also mentioned that the well-liked Labor Day procession and celebrations are still a part of the plan to execute. "The parade is going on and it will go on until later tonight," Chell said. "We have multiple cops working very hard this weekend and working very hard to keep this community and to keep this parade safe."
Marie Clarke, 58, of Brooklyn, who was dressed in green and yellow in honor of the Jamaican flag, saw a decline in previous years. "I think it's because of the crime," Clarke stated. "We need to unite and live in peace and harmony. And stop the violence. Stop killing each other. Put away the guns."
