NYPD investigating 3 shootings within 24 hours and a mile of each other in the Bronx
CROTONA PARK EAST, Bronx (WABC) -- Police in the Bronx are investigating three separate shootings all over the past 24 hours and within just one mile of each other.
It includes a 16-year-old shot in the neck while riding a moped, a FedEx worker grazed in the back and a woman who was shot in the back while sitting outside a bodega.
The 16-year-old is in critical condition after being shot in the neck while riding a moped in the Bronx.
Surveillance video shows the moped topple over.
The incident happened in the Crotona Park East section just after 1 a.m. Friday, unnerving some residents who haven't lived in the area very long.
"A little nervous. I've been living here for a few years. I never heard anyone get shot before," resident Kirk Johnson said.
The suspect in the shooting was able to run away after firing.
The shooting was the area's third in a single day and came just hours after a 35-year-old woman was hit by gunfire in the back.
Police say she was sitting outside of a bodega nearby in the Morrisania section of the Bronx.
She was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital -- the same location as the teen who was shot on the moped. Both victims are listed in critical condition.
Earlier Thursday, a 20-year-old FedEx worker was grazed in the back by gunfire on Jennings Street.
Police say in that case, two men on a moped tried robbing a moped parked outside. They failed and fired several shots instead and one of those bullets grazed the FedEx worker.
The gunfire also blasted through the front of a building and a window on Jennings Street, shattering Bronx resident Jackeline Dominguez's sense of safety.
"For our neighbors, for our families, for our kids, it's too much," Dominguez said.
The injured worker was taken to the hospital and is stable.
