In a sudden surge of gun violence, seven individuals are shot within four hours across New York City on the night before Thanksgiving, raising alarm among residents and law enforcement. The first incident occurred around 7:20 p.m. in downtown Brooklyn, where two 18-year-olds were injured after an argument escalated into gunfire, prompting emergency services to rush them to the hospital, where they are expected to recover.
As the violence spread, two men were shot in the Bronx, and a 24-year-old narrowly escaped death from a gunshot wound to the head during a failed robbery in Astoria.

Police are investigating the incidents and seeking surveillance footage to identify the shooters involved.
