A 12-year-old boy was killed and two adult men were wounded in a shooting in the Bronx on Saturday, according to police. Investigators said gunfire broke out near the Grand Concourse, turning a busy New York City area into the scene of a deadly attack.
The child was struck in the shooting and died, while the two men were also hit by bullets. Authorities said all three victims were caught in the same burst of gunfire, though the limited details released so far do not explain what led up to the violence.
Police were working to piece together the circumstances of the shooting and determine who opened fire. The case adds to ongoing concerns about gun violence in New York neighborhoods, especially when children are among the victims.
As the investigation continued, officers focused on the area near the Grand Concourse for evidence and witness accounts. No further information was immediately available about the conditions of the two wounded men or possible suspects.
