A Halloween party came to a deadly end in Brooklyn overnight after police said gunfire killed one person and left a second injured.

Officers responded to a commercial building off Atlantic Avenue in Crown Heights just before 6:30 a.m. Sunday for reports of a shooting, NYPD officials said.

A 28-year-old man was found dead after being shot in the back, according to authorities. The second victim, a 51-year-old woman, went to Kings County Hospital with a gunshot wound to her arm.
