Summary
A Fourth of July barbecue in Coney Island turned deadly when Robert Smith, 44, allegedly opened fire, injuring eight people—including four children. Charged with attempted murder and other serious offenses, Smith is being held without bail after being identified in surveillance footage. Though victims are expected to survive, one young woman remains in critical condition. Authorities are investigating possible gang ties, citing a prior shooting on the same block and a gun found at the scene with ten shell casings. Smith’s next court date is July 13th.
