A 15-year-old boy was killed and two other teenagers were shot and injured in a few separate shootings in New York City who, according to the authorities, took place less than an hour in succession on Tuesday.
The back-to-back shootings took place just 35 minutes apart in Queens and Brooklyn-with suspects in both cases still free, the police said.
Officers responded around 3.33 pm to an apartment building in 80 East 93rd Street in East Flatbush and found a 15-year-old boy in the lobby with a shot wound at the head and a 16-year-old boy on the third floor that was beaten in the right shoulder.
The younger victim was taken to the King County Hospital where he was declared dead.
The other was mentioned in a stable state in Brookdale Hospital Medical Center.
It remains unclear whether the teenagers have shot each other or whether there are other suspects in general.
Around 2.54 pm a 17-year-old boy was shot in the leg by a non-voided person in a house at 122nd Avenue in Jamaica, the police said.
He was admitted to the hospital in Cohen Children’s Medical Center in a stable condition.
No arrests were made when shooting and the investigations are underway.
