Two men have been indicted in connection with a shooting that killed a 7-month-old girl in Brooklyn last week, prosecutors say.

3. Men charged with bringing bombs to NYC protest were recorded discussing terror plot, indictment says
The two men charged with bringing homemade bombs to a protest outside the home of New York City’s mayor were recorded describing their plan to kill as many as 60 people in a bid to “start terror,” according to an indictment released yesterday.
Their conversations were preserved on dashcam audio and video recordings recovered from the vehicle they drove from Pennsylvania to Manhattan ahead of the March 7 attack where prosecutors say two explosive devices were thrown. Neither exploded, and both men were quickly detained.
