MOUNT VERNON, NY — A shooting at a Mount Vernon nightclub early Christmas day turned fatal, killing one person.

At about 4:26 am, an individual fired multiple shots into the crowd at the Mansion, located at 4 North Third Avenue. The individual was apprehended by the Mount Vernon Police Department at the scene. The suspect is a career criminal from New York City, currently out on bail from a May 15th attempted murder charge in the Bronx. An extensive investigation is continuing.

"Thank god that our police were on the scene and were able to apprehend the suspect," said Mayor Richard Thomas.

Thomas said a second victim who was previously reported to be deceased is recovering after extensive surgery at Jacobi Medical Center.

We also thank the Westchester District Attorney for being on hand to ensure a dose of Strong Justice will be served. Grief counselors will remain available to all who need an additional outlet for consolation. The scumbag that committed this brutal crime must be penalized to the fullest extent of the law."
