A 15-year-old boy was the target of a shooting earlier this month in the Bronx, but fortunately, he escaped unharmed despite a barrage of gunfire.
The New York Police Department (NYPD) reported that a group of seven attackers opened fire on the teen, firing a total of 18 shots. The incident took place around 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 6, in front of 717 Saint Ouen St. in the Wakefield area.
The police said the group approached the boy, armed and ready, and unleashed a hail of bullets. Despite firing 18 shots, none of them hit the teen. After the attack, the suspects fled the scene, heading eastbound on Saint Ouen St. The NYPD has now classified the incident as an attempted murder.
In their ongoing investigation, the NYPD has released images of three of the seven suspects involved in the attack.
Authorities are asking for public assistance in identifying and locating the individuals. Anyone with information related to the incident or the suspects is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
