New York: New York City’s West Indian American Day Parade, one of the world’s largest celebrations of Caribbean culture, was marred by a shooting Monday along the parade route.

At least two people were wounded by gunfire around 2:35 p.m., police said, hours after the parade kicked off with thousands of revelers dancing and marching through Brooklyn.

Details on their conditions and the extent of their injuries were not immediately available, police said.

An Associated Press videographer saw at least two people being treated next to the parade route on Eastern Parkway for what appeared to be wounds to the face and arm.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was marching in the parade at the time, but completed the route.
