One person was killed, and four others were injured after gunfire broke out at the West Indian American Day Parade in Brooklyn on Monday afternoon. Despite the NYPD's efforts to increase security at one of the city's largest parades, the shooting left both the NYPD and the mayor on the defensive.

This week, NY1's Errol Louis was joined by L. Joy Williams, the president of the Brooklyn NAACP and Brian Saunders, the president of the Community Council at the NYPD's 77th Precinct,where the shooting occurred. They both discussed what could be done to prevent future tragedies and the NYPD's new strategies this year. Errol was also joined by NY1 political reporter Dan Rivoli, who covered the NYPD press conference about the shooting.
