13 Arrested in 'Illegal Fight Club' on Long Island, Police Say
SHIRLEY, LONG ISLAND, JUL 21 – Thirteen people were arrested after a blank-firing gun injured two teenagers at an unauthorized fight club event police say was staged for social media profit.
- On Sunday night, authorities in Suffolk County apprehended 13 individuals following the shutdown of an illegal fighting event held at a residence in Shirley, Long Island.
- The event was promoted on social media to settle disputes or compete, but police say such gatherings pose safety risks and are unlawful assemblies.
- During the incident, an individual discharged a gun that shoots blanks, resulting in injuries to a 17-year-old and a 19-year-old, prompting police to respond after receiving reports of possible gunfire.
- Devine Brown, 25, was charged with assault, menacing, unlawful assembly, and prohibitive use of a weapon and pleaded not guilty at arraignment Monday in Central Islip.
- Officials condemned the event, urging the community to reject such criminal activities fueled by social media attention, as injuries and arrest highlight associated dangers.
