A young woman was fatally shot and six other people were wounded at a “Sweet 16” birthday party in New York City Sunday, according to the NYPD.

Officers responded to numerous reports of shots fired at around 11:17 p.m. inside a party in a Brooklyn apartment, NYPD Assistant Chief Judith Harrison said during a press conference early Monday morning. Upon arrival, police saw that seven people had been shot, according to Harrison. She also confirmed that all seven victims were transported to local hospitals, and a 20-year-old unidentified female victim was fatally shot.

The investigation into the incident revealed that a “Sweet 16” party located at a hall on Liberty Ave. in Brooklyn had attracted a large crowd, prompting a 911 call at around 8 p.m., according to NYPD Deputy Chief Michael Kemper. Authorities responded to the report and dispersed the crowd, but the gathering moved down the street to an apartment building, which is where the shootings took place, he said.

Shortly after 9 p.m., a 17-year-old male was shot in the leg standing on the street near the second location of the party at a residence in Brooklyn’s Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood, Kemper said. It is unclear why the victim was shot and who shot him, he added.
The police received several 911 calls reporting the shooting at the Brooklyn apartment around 11 p.m. which is where they discovered the seven wounded victims, between the ages of 14 and 20, according to authorities.
The fatal shootings come as New York City has been experiencing a surge in gun violence. Police said the number of shootings jumped by more than 120% in October from the previous year, according to a report from Fox News. As of Nov. 15, police reported more than 1,667 shooting victims, the New York Daily News reported.
The six others injured in the shooting are expected to survive, according to authorities.

The crime scene is still very active and detectives are still in the process of determining motive, according to Kemper.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
