The shots rang out at about 10:35 p.m. at 2930 W. 30th Street near Surf Ave in Coney Island, not far from the boardwalk where a fireworks display had been set for 9:45 p.m., police say.<\/p>\n

Detectives and police swarmed the scene outside the Seapark Apartments, where the remnants of a barbecue could be seen. Shell casings were visible in the street.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so sad they won\u2019t enjoy themselves without them killing each other. This building is always partying. I came home to have fun and now this. This buikding always has some trouble,\u201d said a resident of the area who idenfied herself as Mackenzie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
