"Both Childs and St. Louis were shot multiple times and were pronounced dead at a hospital a short time after the shooting. The third man killed, 27-year-old city resident Amadou Diallo, was pronounced dead at the scene."
"Authorities said Diallo appears to have been an innocent bystander. Two other men who also opened fire in the bar remained at large Monday, Tisch said, but she did not disclose further details about them."
"A possible motive for the shooting remains under investigation, but authorities have said it appears to be gang-related. Besides those killed, 14 others were shot in the incident, but none of their injuries are believed to be life-threatening."
"Adams said Sunday that both shootings reinforce "why we do this work of going after guns off our streets.""
A bar shooting in Brooklyn resulted in three fatalities, including two shooters, Jamel Childs and Marvin St. Louis, who both died from multiple gunshot wounds. An innocent bystander, Amadou Diallo, was also killed in the incident. Four shooters opened fire, and the police reported a possible gang-related motive. Authorities are searching for two additional suspects believed to have opened fire. Fourteen others sustained injuries, but none are life-threatening, marking the second mass shooting in New York City in recent weeks as officials continue to address gun violence.
