8 Shot in Harlem Rampage

Teens in hospital after gunman seeks revenge

Share

(Newser) – At least seven young people are in the hospital with gunshot wounds after a shooter went on a rampage in Harlem, the New York Daily News reports. Cops believe the gunman was taking revenge after being jumped at a basketball tournament earlier in the day. The victims, all but one teenagers, were wounded within a three-block radius. The gunman is still at large.

"At first I thought someone had fireworks early, but he had a gun and he was shooting," a witness said. "He shot them as he found them. Before they knew anything, he hit them."
