New York City officials, including Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the FDNY, confirmed that at least two people were killed and approximately 17 others were injured, including seven children. More than 250 emergency personnel responded to the scene at the intersection of Flatbush and Bedford Avenues to conduct search-and-rescue operations.
