NYC's 5-Day Shooting Streak Ends: 2 Injured in Overnight Shootings
Two overnight shootings in Brooklyn and the Bronx ended a five-day period in New York City without any shooting victims—a milestone unseen in 30 years, according to the NYPD. This surprising streak of peace was broken with two separate incidents.
Brooklyn Shooting
A 34-year-old man was shot twice in the legs around 10:16 p.m. on Thursday in East New York. Police say the shooting stemmed from an argument following a car crash. The victim is in stable condition, and the police are searching for a suspect described as a man in his 60s wearing gray sweatpants and a blue fleece.
Bronx Shooting
Three hours later, a 17-year-old was shot in the leg on Watson Avenue in the Bronx. Two suspects, wearing black clothing and blue masks, are being sought by police. No arrests have been made in either case.
