Around 2 a.m., a man walked into Brooklyn’s Brookdale Hospital and told cops he was shot on E 95th Street and Avenue L. Police found nine shell casings at the scene.

At 2:25 a.m., a man was grazed in the back of the head on Thomas S. Boyland and Dean streets in Brooklyn. Just 10 minutes later, two men were shot on Dean Street and Park Place nearby. One of the men was shot in the arm, the second victim was shot in the back.

Around 3 a.m., 28-year-old city Correction Officer John Jeff of Queens was gunned down at a party on Ridgedale Street. Responders found the victim with multiple gunshot wounds, including to the head and torso. Jeff, who had two years on the job, was pronounced dead at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center. His killer remains at large.

Ninety minutes later, a 36-year-old man was killed in a street fight  on Christopher Street in the West Village around 4:30 a.m. When police arrived, they found the victim unconscious on the ground. He was pronounced dead at Lenox Health Complex. No arrests have been made.

Police also reported three women and one man were shot at a block party on Malcolm X Boulevard between 112 Street and 113 Street in Harlem. Their injuries are believed to be non life-threatening, according to reports.
