Around 10:30 p.m. last night, two friends who were smoking outside the T.G.I. Friday's at the Staten Island Mall in New Springville were shot--the Staten Island Advance reports that Sean Dooley was shot 6 times while Zachariah Gray was shot once (a third friend was not injured). Police believe Dooley and Gray were shot in a case of mistaken identity; WABC 7 reports the "shooters were involved in an argument in the parking lot - when the victims walked by" - and "believed the victims were involved with the other party in the dispute." Both men are expected to survive and police are looking for "two or three men who sped toward Richmond Avenue in an older model white Jeep Cherokee with gray body trim" as well as two women who sped away in a Kia Spectra.
