Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday praised the NYPD’s handling of Brooklyn’s annual West Indian American Day Parade the day prior despite a mass shooting on the parade route that wounded five people—describing the incident as just one “nut” with a gun.
During the mayor’s weekly wide-ranging press conference, he cast the incident, which left one man dead and another critically wounded, as an anomaly among a mostly “peaceful” parade and the preceding J’ouvert celebration.
