Firecracker Ire Spurs Shooting on Long Island



INWOOD, N.Y. (AP)  -- Police say firecrackers were met with gunfire on Long Island.

Nassau County detectives say two men unleashed several bullets on an Inwood street shortly after midnight Sunday because they were angry about firecrackers being thrown at their feet.

Police say one of the approximately seven shots accidentally hit a 28-year-old man in the buttocks. He has been treated and released from a hospital.

Some other rounds hit an apartment building but hurt no one.

Police are looking for the shooters, estimated to be in their early 20s.
