Eight wounded, including four children, in Coney Island July Fourth shooting

Eight people were wounded, including four children, in the shooting at a July Fourth cookout near Coney Island beach.

On the evening of a national celebration, gunfire broke into a July Fourth cookout near Coney Island beach in Brooklyn, wounding eight people — four of them children — and reminding the country that its most communal holidays are not immune to its deepest wounds. The shooting was not an isolated rupture; across the nation, Independence Day 2026 was marked by a familiar and tragic counterpoint of explosions and gunfire. Authorities are now piecing together what happened, while families who gathered in the spirit of summer and freedom are left to reckon with something far darker.
