"Four people were wounded in a pre-dawn shooting inside a Canarsie building early Sunday, authorities said, after gunfire shattered the quiet and sent emergency crews rushing to the scene. All four victims were taken to local hospitals, where police described their conditions as stable."
"The shooting lands in the middle of a complicated crime picture for Brooklyn. City leaders have highlighted falling crime in some categories, but parts of the borough have seen stubborn trouble spots, particularly with shootings and transit incidents. Shootings in Brooklyn were up about 15% in February, and the number of shooting victims climbed roughly 30% compared with the same time last year."
"Police say no arrests have been made in the Canarsie shooting and the investigation is ongoing. Detectives are still working to piece together what led up to the gunfire inside the Avenue L building. Officials are asking anyone with information or video related to the case to contact NYPD Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS or submit an anonymous tip online."
