Five people were shot and wounded — two critically — near Brighton Beach this evening as hundreds of youths swarmed the area with schools closed for "Brooklyn-Queens Day."
"It’s a bad combination of guns, heat, beer and angry young men," a police source said, pointing to empty malt liquor bottles strewn all over The Boardwalk.
Cops had one suspect in custody, and an FDNY spokesman described the scene as "utter chaos."
“Just watched some idiot kid let off 8 rounds into a crowded beach,” said @djslicknick on Twitter. “I saw like 4 ambulances. It was a madhouse.”
