It pains me because this incident occurred just blocks from my residence in NYC. Sadly, when I heard about it at first, I hoped it was wrong; but I wasn't. Six teens ages 13-18 were the main victims; which makes this even more sad, seeing as this all happened in a public park. Two other men were later found shot in connection to the same incident.
“Six teens were found near Harlem’s Marcus Garvey Park, where a crowd had gathered. It was not immediately clear whether they were wounded at the park or as they fled when gunfire erupted about 10:15 p.m. Monday, police said.
The victims — between the ages of 13 and 18 — were found on several blocks along Lenox Avenue, from 125th Street to 128th Street. They had been shot in the chest, thigh, torso, abdomen or foot, police said. A 15-year-old girl had been grazed on the forehead. No arrests had been made.
Police flooded the area and blocked off streets in the hours after the shooting at the park as they searched for suspects. Residents were told to go inside their homes. Two men, ages 26 and 20, were wounded in unrelated shootings about half an hour before and after violence broke out at the park, police said.[Source]
