Police report that four individuals have been arrested in connection to a recent shooting in Coney Island, where two victims were injured on Mermaid Avenue.
The suspects, charged with attempted murder and gun possession, are reportedly not from the Coney Island area, which local leaders view as a positive development.
Coney Island had previously seen 300 days without a shooting, but this recent event raises community concerns about escalating violence despite prior progress.
Local anti-violence organizations emphasize the need for community involvement in addressing violence, despite the arrests providing some reassurance to residents.
