7 Shot During West Indian Day Parade in Gun-Controlled NYC

Sep 2, 2025 | Uncategorized

The first of the shootings occurred “along the parade route on Eastern Parkway at about 5:35 p.m.,” leaving a man and a woman wounded, the New York Post reported.

Two other individuals were shot on Eastern Parkway about 6:30 p.m.

NBC New York noted that two more people were shot–both in their shoulders–around 6:45 p.m., and a 14-year-old boy was shot and wounded some time after that.

Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety ranks New York the number four state in the Union for gun control stringency.

New York gun controls include a red flag law, a concealed carry permit requirement, gun storage laws, an “assault weapons” ban, a “high capacity” magazine ban, a universal background check requirement for handgun purchases, a ban on bump stocks, a ban on “Glock switches,” and regulations on “ghost guns.”
