Two gunmen opened fi re at a
Bedford-Stuyvesant house party
on Nov. 22, killing a 20-year-old
woman, and injuring at least six
others.
The terror began when two men
walked into an apparent sweet sixteen

fl oor apartment on Albany Avenue
near Fulton Street at around 11:17
pm and opened fi re, sources said.
Offi cers from the 79th Precinct
rushed to the scene and discovered
six injured people between the ages
of 15 and 20 with gunshot wounds to
various parts of their bodies, and
paramedics took them to various
hospitals for treatment.
One victim, a 20-year-old
woman, was hit with a bullet in the
buttocks, and later died at Woodhull
Medical Center.
Police have not yet given a description
of the assailants, but said
information was forthcoming. Investigators
are looking into a possible
link to a gang rivalry, police
added.
One neighbor described the terrifying
scene.
“There were teen girls crying
and screaming. Everything
happened so quickly. People were
covered in blood,” said Roger Bennett,
a resident of the building
where the Sunday night shooting
occurred.
