Authorities later arrested Blunt.
A Brooklyn grand jury indicted the men on 88 counts, including multiple counts of attempted murder, assault, criminal possession and use of a firearm, and endangering the welfare of a child.
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez described the alleged attack as “a barrage of gunfire into a courtyard packed with families celebrating the Fourth of July.”
“The fact that no person was killed is extraordinary, but it does not diminish the alleged recklessness and brutality of this attack,” Gonzalez said.
Smith was arraigned Wednesday and is scheduled to return to court Oct. 14.
