BROOKLYN – A manhunt is underway in Brooklyn after police say a masked gunman opened fire on a backyard gathering<\/a> late Saturday night, injuring eight people, including four young children.<\/p>\n What we know:<\/p>\n The shooting occurred around 10:30 p.m. in the courtyard of a building near West 30th Street and Surf Avenue. According to authorities, a man wearing a ski mask approached the group, who had gathered for a barbecue, and opened fire.<\/p>\n A total of eight victims were hospitalized, including four boys aged 6, 7, 12 and 14. A 21-year-old woman remains hospitalized after suffering a gunshot wound to the chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n What we don’t know:<\/p>\n Police have not yet released the conditions of the boys, along with the ages and conditions of the other victims.<\/p>\n No arrests have been made, and a suspect has yet to be identified.<\/p>\n Dig deeper:<\/p>\n Investigators are working to determine a motive for the shooting as initial reports indicate there was no dispute prior to the gunfire.<\/p>\n However, authorities are looking closely at a potential connection to recent neighborhood violence. Earlier in the week, a confirmed gang-related homicide took place on the exact same block. Detectives are actively investigating whether there is a direct “nexus” between that homicide and Saturday night’s mass shooting.<\/p>\n The Source: Information from this article was provided by the NYPD.<\/p>\n Brooklyn<\/a>News<\/a>Crime and Public Safety<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BROOKLYN – A manhunt is underway in Brooklyn after police say a masked gunman opened fire on a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":289082,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[98,850,9,24,12,56,63,134,136,135,618],"class_list":["post-289081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-staten-island","tag-brooklyn","tag-crime-publicsafety","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-news","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-staten-island","tag-staten-island-headlines","tag-staten-island-news","tag-us"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289081\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/289082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/taylor-swift-and-travis-kelce-wedding-attendees-reveal-details-1-e1783342290510.jpg\")
