5 people shot during New York City parade on Labor Day in Brooklyn

Five people were shot by a lone male gunman on Monday during New York City's West Indian Day Parade, authorities say. 

This parade was the 57th annual event celebrating Caribbean culture. Nearly one million people were reportedly in attendance. 

The shots were fired in the 300 block of Eastern Parkway in the Crown Heights neighborhood in Brooklyn at about 2:35 p.m., according to the New York Post.

As of now there have not been any arrests. The shooting occurred where food was being sold. 

None of the shooting victims have died at this time, but two are in critical condition. One individual was shot in the head. 

There was a “strong police presence” with about 300 handheld metal detectors based on past violence at the event, NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey said earlier in the week.
