Boy, 13, arrested in NYCHA shooting where teen of same age was wounded
"Bullets flew in the stairwell between the building's eighth and ninth floors, police sources said. During the barrage, the 13-year-old victim was hit in both hands and his right thigh. He also suffered a graze wound to the knee. Despite being repeatedly hit, the victim hobbled "down to the lobby and collapsed," a law enforcement source told the Daily News. EMS rushed the child to Brookdale University Hospital where he was treated and is expected to survive."
"A 13-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with a shooting at a Brooklyn NYCHA complex where another 13-year-old boy was wounded, cops said Saturday. The teen was grabbed by police a few hours after the 2:40 p.m. shooting inside the Seth Low Houses, on Belmont Ave. near Christopher Ave. in Brownsville. Cops charged the teen with gun possession and reckless endangerment. His name was not released due to his age."
"The 13-year-old wounded was one of two teens hit by bullets in Brooklyn within a six-hour span on Friday. In an unrelated incident around 8 p.m., cops were called to New York Ave. and Newkirk Ave. in East Flatbush where a 16-year-old was shot in the stomach. EMS rushed the teen to Kings County Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition."
