BREAKING: Harlem shooting leaves two people, including teen wounded; police investigate whether cop fired shot | amNewYork
"According to eyewitnesses, gunfire erupted at around 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 15 on East 123rd Street and 2nd Avenue in what escalated into an apparent broad daylight firefight. I heard the shooting. I was sitting down in front of my house, one woman said. It was really loud, it was scary. Another man said he heard about ten shots in rapid succession and saw a young teen being loaded into an ambulance."
"I was still at the window, once the firing finished, that's when I looked out. I saw them escort a young boy on a stretcher, a man who gave his name as Steve said. Sources familiar with the investigation report that cops came upon the shooting and fired at themselves, striking a teen in the leg. However, police have yet to confirm this narrative."
Two people were shot on Sept. 15 on East 123rd Street and 2nd Avenue in Harlem around 5:30 p.m. A 15-year-old boy was taken to Harlem Hospital for treatment and an unidentified man suffered a gunshot wound to the leg. Eyewitnesses reported a rapid burst of gunfire and saw a teen loaded into an ambulance. Investigators say officers arrived and may have fired, possibly striking the teen, though police have not confirmed that account. More than 20 shots and numerous shell casings were observed, a car window was shattered, and a firearm was recovered. Police are expected to provide an update.
