The victims told Eyewitness News reporter Lucy Yang that the shooter who emptied his gun into the unsuspecting crowd was an off-duty Mount Vernon Police officer.
"The officer took out the gun and went like this," Nembhard said. "We were trying to go back down into the yard. Then he just starts firing."
The 34-year-old was shot in his left foot, while his brother was shot in the back and shoulder, and is currently in the ICU at Westchester Medical Center. "I'm in a lot of pain. Severe pain. I'm mentally scarred right now," Nembhard said. "I almost didn't make it home. That's what scares me." The victim told Eyewitness News that they had nothing to do with the initial dispute, but they ended up with all the physical and psychological damage."We need justice for my two sons," Sharon Nembhard said. "We can't have this in Mount Vernon. This officer must go to jail. He was not on duty."
The New York State Police are now investigating this shooting, canvassing neighbors and others who were at the party.
