NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A 13-year-old boy faces assault and other charges after two teens were shot near a Queens magnet school on Wednesday, police said.
The teen shooter opened fire just before 5 p.m. near Linden Boulevard and 207th Street, about a block away from the Health, Arts, Robotics, and Technology High School in Cambria Heights.
A 16-year-old girl was hit in the right ankle and a 14-year-old boy took a bullet to his right leg, police said.
Emergency responders rushed the girl to Cohen Medical Center and the boy to Long Island Jewish Medical Center — both in stable condition.
Police said they recovered a gun at the scene of the crime and took the unidentified teen suspect into custody.
He was charged with assault, criminal possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment.
It’s not yet clear what led up to the shooting and whether the victims were the intended targets. An investigation is ongoing.
