Boy shot steps from NYC high school as New Year already marked by violent youth clashes: cops

A 17-year-old boy was shot in the stomach around 8:30 a.m. outside his Brooklyn high school, leaving him in stable condition at the hospital.

The violence unfolded after a night where ten people, mostly teenagers, were injured in a mass shooting outside Amazura nightclub, linked to a gang memorial.

Investigators are exploring potential connections between the high school shooting and a recent gang-related homicide of 16-year-old Taearion Mungo, killed in Fort Greene.

Both shootings signal a troubling trend of youth violence in New York, raising concerns about safety near schools and public events.
