Shooting at the parade in New York - six people wounded

Six people were wounded in shooting at the Antilles Day Parade held in Brooklyn, at New York, which is expected to be attended by a million people.

At one point, shots rang out and those present reacted in panic. As the New York Post reports, it is known that one person was wounded in the head, another in the shoulder, and one in the wrist.

There are no other details about the shooting at this time.

The Antilles Day Parade is a carnival celebration, held every year on the first Monday in September. It is the culmination of a week-long celebration of Caribbean culture in the US.

Two people were killed during the celebration in 2016, and a year before the parade, two people were also killed, the Daily Mail reminds.

The police announced a little earlier that there will be a lot of its members at the festival this year, as well as that there will be visible security measures.
