Police shot three young men who had just left a bachelor party at a strip club early Saturday, killing one man on the day of his wedding, according to police and witnesses. One of the survivors was in critical condition.
There was no immediate explanation for what sparked the shooting, which produced an outcry from family members and the Rev. Al Sharpton. The Police Department's chief spokesman, Paul Browne, declined to comment.
The shooting happened just after 4 a.m. near the Kalua Cabaret in Queens, said Officer Kathleen Price. She said there were no reports that any officers were wounded. As many as eight officers may have been involved, said Sgt. Mike Wysokowski, another department spokesman. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061125/ap_on_re_us/police_shooting)
An angry crowd demanded Sunday to know why police officers killed an unarmed man on the day of his wedding, firing dozens of shots that also wounded two of the man's friends.
Some called for the ouster of the city's police commissioner.
At a vigil and rally the day after 23-year-old Sean Bell was supposed to have married the mother of his two young children, a crowd led by the black civil rights leader, the Rev. Al Sharpton, shouted, "No justice, no peace."
At one point, the crowd of a few hundred counted off to 50, the number of rounds fired. (http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/11/26/nyc.shooting.ap/index.html)
