IS THIS THE FIGHT THAT LED UP TO THE BRIGHTON BEACH SHOOTING?

The NYPD is investigating a wild shooting on the crowded boardwalk in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, Thursday evening that killed one person and injured four others.
The boardwalk was packed with teenagers who were off from school because of "Brooklyn-Queens Day" and seeking some relief from the sweltering weather.

"These kids come not to swim, they come for turf fights," said Pat Singer, president of the Brighton Beach Neighborhood Association was quoted in the New York Post. "It's a problem every year. All day long you see hundreds of teenagers, so of course you're going to have problems."

Two of the victims -- a man and a 16-year-old girl -- were rushed in very critical condition at Coney Island Hospital, the FDNY said. The teen, 16-year-old Tysha Jones, later died.

NYPD spokesman Paul Browne described the scene as "chaotic." He said the shooting happened during a fight and that at least two gunmen were involved.

Three other victims -- all in their 20s -- were taken to Coney Island Hospital and Lutheran Hospital, according to police.

The shooting happened at about 5:30 p.m. right in front of Tatiana's Restaurant near Brighton 6th Street.

Police were questioning several people, but declined to say if any of them was a suspect.

Witnesses said that after several shots were fired, mayhem and panic broke out.

Video of the aftermath of the shooting was uploaded to YouTube. It shows a person lying on the boardwalk as others stand over him, one covered in blood. Young people could be seen running away and shouting. The video also shows an NYPD scooter pulling up and officers responding.
