Two innocent teens wounded in broad daylight NYC shooting, third bystander narrowly missed
Two innocent teenagers were shot and a third bystander was narrowly missed when a gunman opened fire on a Bronx street in broad daylight Thursday, according to police and law enforcement sources. The pair of 17-year-old boys was in front of a five-story walk-up at 265 E. 176th St. in the Tremont section of the borough when the shots rang out around 1:20 p.m., police said. One of the teens was shot in the right arm, the other in the neck, police and sources said. Neither boy appeared to be the intended target of the shooter, but were struck in the crossfire, based on preliminary details, sources said. A bullet also went crashing through a Toyota Highlander that Christian Santos, 44, had parked just moments before. Santos got out of the car to go to work when the bullets began flying. One went blasting through the rear of the car and into the driver's seat, striking the area where his head was moments before, he told The Post. Paramedics rushed the two teens to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, where they were listed in stable condition early Friday, according to the FDNY. The gunman, a male dressed in all black, fled the scene on foot, sources said. There have been no arrests and the shooting remains under investigation. So far this year there have been 15 shooting victims and 12 shooting incidents in the 46th precinct where Thursday's shooting occurred, according to the most recent NYPD statistics. Those numbers are a slight increase from the same time last year. Overall, the shooting numbers are down nearly 24% across the Bronx, but the borough was shocked when another teenage innocent bystander, Evette Jeffrey, 16, was shot in the head and killed in May.
