One employee was killed and another man was injured in a shooting inside a restaurant in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n
Police say officers responded to a 911 call just after midnight from American Best Wings and Pizza on Rockaway Avenue in Brownsville.<\/p>\n
The officers found a 44-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his head — he was an employee of the Halal fast food eatery. A 39-year-old man also had a wounded leg. It is not clear if he was a worker. Both men were taken to the hospital, where the 44-year-old was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
Police were still going through evidence and video from inside the shop late Sunday.<\/p>\n
Neighbors who eat and shop along the street are very upset. They say this particular row of businesses seems very safe, and that whatever this attack was, whether it was a robbery or person — is extremely disturbing. They say the workers at American Best were kind to their customers.<\/p>\n
“This is the best chicken spot here, and I’m just surprised that this is happening I just wish that my community could stop the violence, you know. It’s really, really sad,” said Jamal Brown.<\/p>\n
“You don’t even hear about robberies around here, much less a shooing. So I was definitely shocked. I hope they catch them, everything is under surveillance right now and I hope they catch the person, because it’s another person that’ll be off the streets,” added Melvin Irby.<\/p>\n
Police say no one is in custody and the victim’s identity has not yet been released.<\/p>\n
The motive is unknown and there is no description of what happened or who they are looking for.<\/p>\n
