Pride celebrations in Greenwich Village took an alarming turn when a shooting incident occurred, leading to the hospitalization of two teenagers. According to police, the violence stemmed from a confrontation between rival street gangs rather than the Pride event itself. A 16-year-old girl reportedly attempted to shoot a male target but missed, injuring a 17-year-old girl from New Jersey instead. The shootings occurred amidst the celebrations, causing panic and chaos as attendees fled the scene. Authorities confirmed the incident was not a hate crime but rather a gang-related altercation.
Police reported that young alleged members of two different street gangs spotted each other amidst the revelry and went to war with one another.
The 16-year-old girl shot in the chaos allegedly had attempted to shoot a male individual at point-blank range.
It is clear that she is targeting a specific male, and she produces a nine millimeter pistol, places it inches away from that male's head.
While the intended target was not struck, one of the bullets traveled about 100 feet and wounded a 17-year-old girl who had traveled from New Jersey.
