Vid shows 2 in B’klyn party shoot spree

- Thomas Tracy

Police have released surveillan­ce images of two suspects they say opened fire on a Brooklyn party, wounding eight revelers.

The masked hooded duo, one dressed entirely in black, the other in blue, were recorded walking toward the large bash outside the Roosevelt Houses on DeKalb Ave. in Bedford-Stuyvesant about 12:25 a.m. Monday.

Cops say the pair whipped out guns and opened fire on the 200 partiers, sending them scattering for cover.

Three men and five women between the ages of 18 and 27 were each struck one time, most in the arm or leg.

The youngest victim was shot in her abdomen and another woman was grazed in the nose. All the victims are expected to survive, officials said.

The gunmen fled the area in a dark-colored four-door sedan idling nearby, according to cops.

The shooting came a week after five people were shot at a raucous party in East New York. Two of the victims died that day and a third victim from the Aug. 8 shooting died Wednesday.

Before that, 10 people were wounded when a pair of gunmen fired 40 bullets down a Queens street on July 31.

A witness told the Daily News the victims at Monday’s party were enjoying themselves before shots rang out.

“They were doing dances. They were making videos. They were cracking jokes. I seen them out there just horseplayi­ng,” said neighbor Primus Stevens, 53. “They left everything and ran. There’s Walkmans on the floor, there’s iPhones on the floor, there’s headphones.”

Anyone with informatio­n on Monday’s shooting is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidenti­al.
