NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A critically injured 14-year-old girl was among three teens wounded in a drive-by shooting in Queens on Wednesday afternoon, police said.
The 14-year-old girl was shot in the neck, and two 18-year-old boys were shot in the leg, along 188th Street, near 64th Avenue, in Fresh Meadows shortly after 4 p.m.
NYPD Assistant Chief Ruben Beltran said two vehicles pulled up alongside a group of people on the sidewalk.
“Several males exited the vehicles and exchanged words with one or more of the people on the sidewalk,” Beltran said. "They were in an argument. One of the males fired numerous rounds, striking the victims.”
At least nine bullets were fired in the shooting. Police don't yet know if the girl was a target of the shooter.
A good Samaritan said the 14-year-old was conscious when she was taken into an ambulance but that she "definitely got hit in the neck."
All of the victims are expected to survive.
As investigators continue to gather evidence, police believe someone with the shooter may have recorded the entire attack on his phone.
