In an evening that featured more bullets and bloodshed for two NYC neighborhoods, 10 people in Harlem and Queens were shot — including four teen bystanders in a park — in separate incidents that spanned just a matter of hours, police said
Gunfire erupted on the bustling Harlem block at West 125th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard just before 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, police said, leaving two people shot in the leg. At least eight bullet casings were found as a result of the shooting that occurred steps from a bus stop and several stores.
At least one of the victims, a 48-year-old woman, was believed to be an innocent bystander, police said. Witnesses said she's a local street vendor, who was struck in the left leg. The other victim, a 20-year-old man, was hit in the right leg after he was involved in a fight with the alleged shooter.
Both victims were taken to nearby hospitals, and both are expected to survive. The suspect was seen wearing a white hooded sweatshirt, and ran north up the boulevard from the scene.
