A series of shootings across New York City overnight has resulted in at least two fatalities and numerous injuries. The incidents, spanning multiple boroughs, began in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
In the Bronx, two men were shot near Morris Avenue. An 18-year-old victim, shot in the leg, was later pronounced dead at St. Barnabas Hospital. The other victim, a 19-year-old man who sustained a hip injury, remains hospitalized in stable condition. Two suspects have been apprehended and a firearm recovered in connection with this incident, although no formal arrests have been made at this time.
Separate shootings also occurred in Brooklyn. A woman and a 20-year-old man were both shot in the leg in distinct incidents. Tragically, a 30-year-old man was killed in another Brooklyn shooting. Authorities have a person of interest in custody related to the woman's shooting. In Queens, a 53-year-old woman suffered a shoulder wound and is currently in stable condition. Two additional shootings in the Bronx left a 34-year-old and a 36-year-old man injured. Yet another shooting took place in Coney Island just after 4 a.m., though the victim's condition remains unknown.
Investigations into all of these incidents are ongoing.
