But those were not the only victims, police said. Two young boys, a 3-year-old and a 6 year-old, were walking with their mother when they were shot in the leg, according to police. Video from the scene appeared to show one of the boys bleeding profusely on the ground outside the park before being rushed to the hospital along with his brother. NBC New York obtained video showing the frantic race by police to get the two boys to the hospital.
