WESTCHESTER SQUARE, The Bronx (WABC) — Four teenagers were shot in the Bronx on Friday, police said.<\/p>\n
The teens were shot just after 4 p.m. on Overing Street in the Westchester Square section after an altercation in a residential area.<\/p>\n
Police said a 13-year-old boy was shot in the leg, a 14-year-old girl was shot in the leg, a 14-year-old boy was grazed in the right foot and a 15-year-old boy was grazed in both legs.<\/p>\n
Police said the victims were taken to Jacobi Hospital and are listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n
Lou just finished washing the blood off his sidewalk.<\/p>\n
“There was a group of kids and then she was across the street walking with a friend and she just got hit with one of the six shots. It was just like ‘bop, bop, bop’ at the group,” he said.<\/p>\n
One neighbor ran outside and used a belt to put pressure on the female victim’s wound.<\/p>\n
Police are looking for a gray vehicle that fled the scene. They say a large group of young people fled the scene at the time of the shooting.<\/p>\n
A neighbor who was outside at the time of the shooting says she heard anywhere from four to five shots.<\/p>\n
The woman said she heard an argument between a group of girls and guys right before gunshots were fired.<\/p>\n
“It’s not the first or second time. There were two last week, the children over there on the corner,” the neighbor said.<\/p>\n
Gun violence among teens is disturbing enough, but the people who live in the neighborhood say what’s even more disturbing is that it seems to be happening more frequently in the particular area — outside homes and near schools.<\/p>\n
“There was two teenage boys that were shooting at a green car. I told my son to get upstairs, get upstairs. I had to call the cops,” said Jen who lives in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n
She says that was only back in the spring and not much has changed.<\/p>\n
“I’m scared because I have a 15-year-old,” she added.<\/p>\n
The teens who were shot Friday are all expected to survive as police try to get to the bottom of what sparked everything and get the shooter off the street.<\/p>\n
