A mass shooting<\/a> in The Bronx has left one person dead and four others injured, including a girl who was shot in the face, according to police.<\/p>\n New York City<\/a> police received a call about \u201cmultiple people shot\u201d at Burke Avenue and Wickham Avenue in Haffen Park around 7:30 p.m. Saturday, when a large crowd gathered for a basketball tournament in the boroughs\u2019s Baychester neighborhood, police said.<\/p>\n NYPD officers arrived at the scene to find a 32-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his chest and a 17-year-old girl with a gunshot wound to her face. <\/p>\n Both victims were transported to Jacobi Medical Center, where the 32-year-old male was pronounced dead, police said. The teenager, identified by WABC<\/a> as Anthonaya Campbell, remains in critical condition. <\/p>\n Three other victims were also taken to local hospitals: a 30-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his back, a 29-year-old woman with a gunshot wound to her back, and a 42-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his arm. They are all in stable condition, police said.<\/p>\n Four people were taken into custody. Their identities have not been made public. <\/p>\n The investigation remains ongoing, authorities said.<\/p>\n Police have urged the public for more information from witnesses about the shooting.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not immediately clear what prompted the attack. <\/p>\n Campbell aspired to become a speech pathologist \u2014 but those dreams could now be dashed after the shooting, which has so far rendered her unable to speak after she was shot in the back of her head, her mother Jennifer Talbot told WABC.<\/p>\n “She must have got up and tried to run. My grandson was there and he ran up and thought that she was dead. And my other daughter went down there and panicked and somebody else started to do CPR,” Talbot said.<\/p>\n “It took more than 17 minutes for my daughter to get CPR, which made a big difference in her condition. If we had officers actually present, it would have been a lot sooner,” she continued, noting her daughter is not breathing on her own and the bullet is lodged behind her eye.<\/p>\n The teen\u2019s aunt told the outlet: “My niece just turned 17, she didn’t deserve this. Nobody could deserve this.\u201d<\/p>\n Nearby residents said they were shaken up by the incident.<\/p>\n “I’ve lived here for 50 years \u2014 I’ve never seen … the area is getting gentrified, you know, there’s a lot of people coming back and forth. I’m kind of shocked at what’s going on because it’s been peaceful lately, for the last, I’d say 10-12 years, it’s been very good,” Nicholas Thompson, who lives in the neighborhood, told ABC7<\/a>.<\/p>\n New York City experienced the lowest number of shootings and murders in recorded history from January through May 2025, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced in June.<\/p>\n In that period, the city recorded 264 shootings and 112 murders. The previous record low was 267 shootings in 2018 and 113 murders in 2014 and 2017.<\/p>\n Saturday\u2019s incident marked the second weekend in a row that NYPD responded to a mass shooting.<\/p>\n Three men were killed and 11 people were wounded when multiple shooters opened fire inside a bar and restaurant in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood last weekend. Police said two of the three people killed were involved in the shooting and another man who was fatally shot was an uninvolved bystander.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The latest headlines from our reporters across the US sent straight to your inbox each weekdayYour briefing on…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":173675,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-173674","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-new-york","10":"tag-new-york-city","11":"tag-newyork","12":"tag-newyorkcity","13":"tag-ny","14":"tag-nyc","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-united-states-of-america","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115088032167965727","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173674","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173674"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173674\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/173675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173674"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173674"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"At](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Haffen-Park-where-one-person-was-killed-and-four-others-were-injured-in-a-mass-shooting.png\")
