An all-night barbeque held by friends leading up to today's West Indian Day Parade in Brooklyn turned deadly when shots rang out early this morning and two men were left dead, a third wounded. 25-year-old Marvin Brown and 26-year-old David Harris were fatally shot while hanging out at the party on Chester Street in Brownsville. Brown was shot in the head and killed instantly when the incident took place around 5:45 a.m. Another man was wounded after being shot in the leg and a fourth punched in the face. A woman at the bbq told the News, "The vibe was cool - everybody knows everybody. Everybody's talking and laughing. It was family and friends, and I guess it just got a little out of hand." Friends and family say that there's no way Brown, who had just finished training to be an ambulance driver, could have been the intended target. One buddy said, "There's nothing you couldn't not like about him."

Wait a minute. How do you go from "The vibe was cool - everybody knows everybody. Everybody's talking and laughing. It was family and friends,..." to "...and I guess it got a little out of hand."?
Aside from the severe understatement, I believe a step was skipped in there somewhere.
Actually, that's how it usually comes down. In the Caribbean, these all-night/morning Jouvert parties frequently end in violence. It's a cultural thing.
I call six dead, 11 wounded by sunrise, with a three point spread, year-and-a-day rules hold. And I doubt stag grips and speedloaders are very stylish in the hood. Probably get ya laughed at, if not shot.
It's a 9mm or nuttin'
That reply was meant for the stag grip comment by dadoc. Damn moveable hype, I mean type.
Any description of the shooter?
any updates on the cop who's gun "went off" and shot through a car while leaving a sketchy Biker bar?
shouldn't he be questioned and have his gun taken away?
brownsville, again... nice.
Hopefully, next time, the death toll will be higher.
Grand opening, grand closing.
I hope the shooters weren't drunk. They could have gotten in trouble for that.
