2 Dead, 7 Wounded In Overnight Shootings Across New York City

Just hours after July 4th fireworks shows, more gun violence erupted across New York City overnight in three boroughs.

At least seven people were shot between the hours of 1 and 2:20 a.m., leaving two dead.

One of those deadly incidents occurred in the Tremont section of The Bronx, where police were called around 2:20 a.m. after an 18-year-old and 19-year-old were shot.

The 18-year-old victim, who was found with a gunshot wound to the leg, was pronounced dead at St. Barnabas Hospital, while the 19-year-old, who was shot in the hip, is in stable condition.

Two persons of interest were taken into custody. That investigation remains ongoing.

Over in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, a woman was shot in the leg at Livonia Avenue and Bristol Street just 1:30 a.m.

That woman was taken to Brookdale University Hospital in stable condition.

A person of interest in that shooting was taken into custody.

Less than an hour later, a separate incident occurred right around the corner of that location, where a 20-year-old male was shot once in the leg outside 344 Chester Street around 2:20 a.m.

That victim was taken to Brookdale Hospital in stable condition.

Over in Inwood, a 30-year-old was fatally shot outside a building on Vermilyea Avenue.

Police responded to the scene, where they found the male with a gunshot wound to the face.

That victim was taken to NYC Health + Hospital/Harlem, where he was pronounced dead.

No arrests have been made. An investigation remains ongoing.

This news comes after a bullet-riddled weekend, where nine shootings unfolded across the city, and three of the victims were children.
