A few hours ago, two people were shot on East 7th Street and Avenue D in the East Village. WABC 7 reports the gunman apparently used a rifle around 8:15 a.m.: "Eyewitness News is told the suspect fled in a blue or green Dodge caravan. It was quickly recovered, and a person was taken into custody at the 7th Precinct on the Lower East Side." However, it's unclear whether the person now is custody is the shooter and what the extent of the two victims' injuries are. Update: The shooting occurred outside a bodega. A 50-year-old was shot many times, while a bullet went through a window at the store and hit a bodega worker. The shooter was the one who turned himself in to the 7th.
