A 20-year-old and 16-year-old were arrested in connection to the July 11th incident at St. James Park in the Fordham section of the Bronx.
"We are really proactive. Remember you saw that when we were talking about scooters and guns illegal on our roads, we were clamping down on them? There was push back from those who push back on everything we do when it comes to public safety," Mayor Eric Adams said last week.
Officials say the other two individuals who were shot include a 25-year-old and a 23-year-old man. Both of the victims were also taken to St. Barnabas Hospital and are expected to survive."I hear at least six shots, at least. but, in the Bronx, over here, that's normal," one witness said. Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson condemned the act of gun violence that disrupted what was a relaxing summer evening.
"We cannot accept this violence as normal and are outraged that our children are being shot outside parks. Our collective work must continue to get rid of illegal scooters, illegal guns and violent individuals who destroy our communities. Prayers to this family. Heartbreaking," Gibson said in a tweet.
