NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) -- The NYPD released images Thursday of two teens they're searching for in a shooting that injured two other teens, including a bystander, outside a Brooklyn deli on Wednesday.
"Numerous" shots were fired just before 9:30 a.m. at Eastern Parkway and Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights, leaving a 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl with gunshot wounds.
The boy was struck in the left arm and the girl was hit twice in the right leg. They were both transported in stable condition to NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County.
Police said it all started when the suspects—two males in their teens—approached the male victim in front of the deli and started a dispute with him.
It's unclear what the disagreement was about or if the victim knew his attackers.
During the dispute, one of the suspects struck the victim in the face with an open hand, police said. The second suspect then brandished a gun, causing the victim to run for his life.
The shooter sprayed bullets in the victim's direction, striking him and the girl, police said. Both suspects then fled down Rogers Avenue.
No other injuries were reported in the gunfire, which unfolded right outside the Franklin Avenue-Medgar Evers College station during the morning rush.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
