Parents and students in Cypress Hills are still reeling after a shooting late Saturday night that left six teenagers injured.
The shooting happened shortly after 1 a.m. after a Sweet 16 party at an event space just steps from P.S./I.S. 89 school.
Parents walked by shattered glass and bullet holes in front of the venue – Champagne Room by Burbuja on Atlantic Avenue near Ashford Street.
“My son’s school is right here, and to hear that there was a shooting here is scary,” said one parent.
Surveillance footage shows two men dressed in black and wearing face masks firing more than a dozen rounds before fleeing the scene.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said investigators believe the shooting was gang-related.
“These are 14, 15, 16-year-old kids walking around with guns, killing each other,” said Tony, whose granddaughter goes to I.S. 89 next door. “It’s absolutely out of control.”
All six victims, ages 15 to 17, are in stable condition. Police are actively searching for two suspects.
