‘No one is safe’: 3 dead, at least 12 wounded in series of NYC shootings

Three people were killed and at least 12 others were wounded in a series of shootings that rocked parts of the Bronx and Brooklyn on Tuesday night, police and sources said.

The fatalities included a 23-year-old woman and two men, 22 and 21, who were all killed in separate Bronx shootings. At least five other shootings were reported in New York City during a roughly six-hour span, authorities said.

A 15-year-old girl was among the surviving victims, who were all struck by gunfire in shootings that occurred outdoors just hours after the worst subway shooting in the city’s history left 10 others wounded.

“Another nice day. Everybody’s out in the street, and everybody’s getting shot,” a Brooklyn cop told The Post. “No one is safe.”

The bloodshed began with a triple shooting in Bedford-Stuyvesant just before 4:30 p.m. in front of 441 Gates Ave., which is part of NYCHA’s Armstrong complex, police said.

A 43-year-old man was hit by a bullet in his lower back, a 41-year-old man was grazed in his right arm, and a 26-year-old man suffered an injury to his left leg, according to the NYPD.

The victims were taken to Kings County Hospital in stable condition while police looked for the shooter.

Moments after 7 p.m., a 15-year-old girl was hit in the leg by gunfire in front of 3958 Laconia Ave. in the Edenwald section of the Bronx, police said.

It was unclear what led to the attack, and the shooter remained at large while the victim was taken to Jacobi Hospital in stable condition, cops said.
