8 Wounded In NYC Shooting Spree

A shooting spree in Harlem sent eight people, including half a dozen teenagers, to hospitals with gunshot wounds, police said on Tuesday.

All of the victims were expected to recover from their injuries. It was not immediately clear whether the teenage victims were wounded at Marcus Garvey Park, where a crowd had gathered, or as they fled when gunfire erupted about 10:15 p.m. Monday, police said.

The New York Daily News reported that police believe the shooter may have been a man who was attacked earlier in the day and set out to take revenge on his attackers.

The victims - between the ages of 13 and 18 - were found on several blocks along Lenox Avenue, from 125th Street to 128th Street. They had been shot in the chest, thigh, torso, abdomen or foot, police said. A 15-year-old girl had been grazed on the forehead. Detectives were still at the crime scene early Tuesday. No arrests had been made.

Police flooded the area and blocked off streets in the hours after the shooting at the park as they searched for suspects. Residents were told to go inside their homes.

Two men, ages 26 and 20, were wounded in unrelated shootings about half an hour before and after violence broke out at the park, police said.
