Sunset Park mass shooting may have been weed deal gone bad: Police source
A mass shooting off Sunset Park’s Third Avenue left three men and one woman wounded Thursday evening, and a police source told the Brooklyn Eagle it may have been a drug deal gone awry.
A source from the local 72nd Precinct said cops believe three of the victims — a 42-year-old man shot in the leg, a 37-year-old man shot in the arm, and a 24-year-old man shot in the abdomen and right leg — were innocent bystanders in a shooting that began over a marijuana deal.
The three bystanders were on 62nd Street between Second and Third avenues at around 8:11 p.m. on Jan. 2 when a gunman opened fire.
