New York City Mayor Eric Adams defended the city Police Department\u2019s approach to security over the West Indian American Day Parade in light of the\u00a0shooting<\/a>\u00a0that overshadowed the Labor Day event.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet’s be clear. One nut shot five people, one,\u201d said Adam during his weekly press conference at City Hall on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

One person died, while four others were injured when shooting rang out on Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights around 2:30pm during the popular parade.<\/p>\n

When asked whether the event should be cancelled, the mayor shot down the idea.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don’t surrender to crime. If someone does something to stop the Thanksgiving Day parade, do we stop the parade?\u201d asked Adams. \u201cThe cities won’t be held captured by the numerical minority that participate in criminal behavior. We seek them out. We hold them accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Based on the varied age range of the five victims, Adams stated the shooting is not the \u201cnormal profile of gang members.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mayor touted the \u201cproactive\u201d approach to security taken by the NYPD through the confiscation of 25 guns off the streets before J\u2019Ouvert, the pre-dawn event that precedes the parade. This year, there was no violence at J’Ouvert and it was \u201cone of the safest\u201d iterations in the event\u2019s history according to Adams.<\/p>\n

The city also deployed 12 drones to patrol the surrounding area around and along the parade.<\/p>\n

“How do you stop a nut from taking a gun, shooting it to a crowd of five people?,” the mayor asked. “We were proactive. 25 guns removed off the street just in those small days. 25 guns.<\/p>\n

No telling how many shootings we prevented. These random acts of violence. We had the police coverage there.<\/p>\n

There were new things that they did. I don’t know if many people noticed, but there was an additional corridor of lanes that they implement now in our parades. So it’s no longer that we have to move rapidly. There’s a space for police officers to do it. So they did their job.”<\/p>\n

The perpetrator is still at large and anyone with information on the shooting can call the NYPD\u2019s Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) and 1-888-57-PISTA (74782) for Spanish speakers or submit a tip either through their\u00a0website<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0X<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
