Three scooter-riding teens were shot as they headed to a quinceañera rehearsal in Brooklyn as citywide gun violence claimed a man's life and wounded two others late Monday, cops said.

How Candidates for East New York’s 42nd Council District Would Re-Think Policing and Safety
Amidst the well-documented increase in gun violence across New York City last year, one area stood out: the NYPD’s 75th Precinct, which includes the neighborhoods of East New York and Cypress Hills, had both the most shooting incidents and the highest number of police misconduct complaints of anywhere in the city.
The precinct had 102 shootings last year, up from 51 the year before. At the same time, the 75th led the city in complaints to the Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB), and in recent years was the subject of at least 90 lawsuits. Worse, officers with substantiated complaints often received promotions and raises instead of punishment.
