Two people were killed and at least 10 others were shot in separate incidents over the course of 12 bloody hours in NYC last night.
According to police, three people were shot at an apartment at East 232 Street in The Bronx around 1 a.m. this morning. A 17-year-old female was shot in the left foot, a 17-year-old male was shot in the right leg, and a second 17-year old male was shot in the torso. The female victim was taken to Jacobi Hospital, where she is in stable condition. Both male victims were taken to Montefiore Hospital, where the man shot in the torso died. Police add that a "person of interest" has been taken into custody, but the investigation is ongoing.
