 [NYPOST] The gangbanger who fatally shot a man at a Brooklyn block party — sparking a shootout between rival groups that left 11 innocent bystanders maimed — claimed he had "no other choice" as he was slammed with more than three decades behind bars for the bloodshed on Wednesday.
Kyle Williams, 23, deflected blame for the fatal shooting of Jason Pagan, 38, at the Old Timer’s Day celebration on July 27, 2019, which prosecutors said ignited the shootout at the Brownsville Playground.
"There’s no way of going around it — me and my brother’s life were in serious danger. It left me no other choice than to react," Williams — identified by sources as a Bloods gang member — said in Brooklyn Supreme Court before he was sentenced to 32 1/2 years to life in prison.
"I honestly believe faced with the things I was facing anyone in my predicament would have done the same exact thing," he said in a scripted five-minute speech to the court.
Williams — who pleaded not guilty
"Wudn't me."
in November 2019 — was convicted of second-degree murder, second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and first-degree reckless endangerment on April 20 following a jury trial.
He offered brief condolences to Pagan’s family on Wednesday before spending most of his speech rambling on about how his actions were justified because he had felt threatened.
