Police are investigating a fatal shooting in upper Manhattan. Last night, five people were shot—one fatally—in front of a deli at West 136th Street and Broadway.
According to the NYPD, the shooting occurred after 11 p.m.: Officers responded to a "911 call of multiple shots fired and a person shot." When they arrived, they found five people with gunshot wounds in front of 3345 Broadway.
One male victim, Graham Shadale, 28, was pronounced dead at the scene with a gunshot wound to the head. Two other males were wounded (a 24-year-old suffered gunshot wounds to the right arm and ankle while a 22-year-old had gunshot wounds to the torso and leg; both taken to Harlem Hospital and are in stable condition) as were two young women, both 21 and who both suffered gun shot wounds to the shoulder (they are in stable condition at St. Luke's).
A laundromat attendant, Pablo Perez, told the NY Times that "he heard about 10 shots fired in rapid succession, and that he and customers in the store ducked and ran to a back room, from where he called the police."
When the shooting stopped, Mr. Perez said, someone screamed that there was a body in front of the laundromat. When he went to look, he saw that a man had been shot in the leg and was bleeding from the stomach, but that the man was conscious, Mr. Perez said.He said a woman emerged from a taxi, took off the man’s shirt, pulled down his pants, and applied pressure to his wounds to slow the bleeding.
Another man was lying motionless in front of Wally’s Deli at 3345 Broadway. The man was not moving and there was blood everywhere, Mr. Perez said.
“I’ve never seen blood like that or heard shots like that,” he said.
Perez was also surprised by the shooting, which took place a block from City College, "In the past, where I used to live, we heard gunshots all night and we couldn’t sleep. But never here."
