A teenager and two men shot by a pistol packing, scooter-riding duo in the Bronx<\/a> were believed to be the targets of the gunfire, a police source said.<\/p>\n

The gunmen fired more than a dozen rounds in front of 2540 Marion Avenue near Fordham University around 9:30 p.m. Friday, leaving a 17-year-old shot in the left thigh, a 21-year-old shot in the right knee and a 28-year-old grazed in the back of the head, police and sources said.<\/p>\n

The victims were uncooperative and police were scouring for video of the shooting, which unfolded as a birthday party for a 4-year-old girl was being held nearby.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe kids heard [the shots],\u201d said party organizer Grindl Bose, 61, a retired teacher. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey were upset when they saw the cops running through the block. They didn\u2019t know if it was gunshots or fire crackers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another mom said she\u2019s thinking of leaving the borough.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am afraid for my kids,\u201d said the mom, whose kids are 5, 6 and 10 years old and who asked to remain anonymous out of fear. \u201cSometimes I regret moving here.\u201d<\/p>\n

The latest burst of gunfire followed a spate of shootings in the boogie down that prompted Mayor Adams to order 1,000 cops to the borough and call for a summit with gang members at Gracie Mansion.<\/p>\n

The mayor\u2019s gang summit proposal came after a deadly Aug. 23 shootout between gang members<\/a> at a basketball tournament.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A 32-year-old man was killed and four others hurt in the shooting, including a 17-year-old girl who was left fighting for her life after she was blasted in the face by a stray bullet.<\/p>\n

Two teens \u2013 ages 16 and 17 \u2013 were hit with murder, attempted murder<\/a>, gang assault and weapons charges for the gunfire, which broke out during a basketball tournament.<\/p>\n

A teenager and two adults were believed to have been targeted in the shooting, a source said. Christopher Sadowski<\/p>\n

Daeven Reyes, 20, and Robert Royal, 25, also face murder, attempted murder and weapons charges in the basketball tournament shooting. Reyes was slapped with an additional gang assault charge, police said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen bullets fly because of gang disputes, it doesn\u2019t stop and pause and say this isn\u2019t a rival gang member,\u201d Adams said during a Thursday news conference about the violence with Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark at his side.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s so much that we want to do and we know it\u2019s not just policing, it is about preventing and reacting,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

Sliwa ripped into the mayor\u2019s plan to host gang leaders at a summit in a bid to tamp down violence, claiming Adams \u201chas lost his mind.\u201d J.C. Rice<\/p>\n

Mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa<\/a> tore into Mayor Adams\u2019 summit idea.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wants to sit down with trigger pullers,\u201d Sliwa charged at a news conference outside the mayor\u2019s Upper East Side home Saturday. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe not only wants to sit with gangbangers in the People\u2019s House but trigger pullers who have shot victims or killed victims. He has lost his mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

No date had been set for the gang summit, a mayoral spokeswoman said Saturday.<\/p>\n

Shootings and murders are both down nearly 20% citywide year to date, according to NYPD data, but shootings surged 53% so far this year in the notorious 47th Precinct in the Bronx, where the basketball tournament shooting occurred.<\/p>\n

The NYPD also plans to station scores of cops at the annual J\u2019Ouvert Festival in Brooklyn which is slated to be held Sunday night into Monday morning. <\/p>\n

The festival is sometimes marred by gun violence ahead of the annual West Indian Day Parade there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A teenager and two men shot by a pistol packing, scooter-riding duo in the Bronx were believed to…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":188868,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,5340,5289,94845,5248,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,3677,5305,67,586,132,5230,68,1154,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-188867","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-curtis-sliwa","10":"tag-eric-adams","11":"tag-gracie-mansion","12":"tag-metro","13":"tag-new-york","14":"tag-new-york-city","15":"tag-newyork","16":"tag-newyorkcity","17":"tag-ny","18":"tag-nyc","19":"tag-shootings","20":"tag-the-bronx","21":"tag-united-states","22":"tag-united-states-of-america","23":"tag-unitedstates","24":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","25":"tag-us","26":"tag-us-news","27":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115121923317345284","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188867","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=188867"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188867\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/188868"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=188867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=188867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=188867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
