Early this morning, three people were shot at a Bronx apartment building on Weeks Avenue. It's believed the three people were attending a birthday party, and WCBS 2 reports, "After a dispute, one group left the party but returned later. That's when the shooting occurred in the lobby." A 20-year-old woman was wounded while a 16-year-old girl and 15-year-old boy were fatally shot. The boy's mother told the Daily News, "My nerves are shot. He was a fun-loving kid. He would help everybody. I can't say anything more right now. I'm too upset."
