Six shot, two killed at funeral in Brooklyn

NEW YORK — A gunfight broke out on a Brooklyn street during a funeral where at least one shooter returned fire from inside the church vestibule, leaving two dead and four others injured, according to police.

Three men opened fire on a crowd outside Emmanuel Church of God in Brooklyn’s East Flatbush neighbourhood Monday evening, police said, at the funeral of 38-year-old Jose Luis Robles, who had died of natural causes.

Police said 15 rounds were fired. Investigators on Tuesday were looking at whether the shooting was gang-related.
