NEW YORK - Two people were injured in a broad daylight shooting on the Lower East Side on Monday afternoon, police said.
Officers say they responded to a call of a shooting around 2:30 p.m. near East Broadway and Clinton Street.
What we know:
A 63-year-old woman was shot in the foot, and a 21-year-old man was struck in the right leg, police said. Both victims were taken to Bellevue Hospital and were listed in stable condition.
Video obtained by FOX 5 NY showed the woman sitting on the ground crying as police attempted to provide aid before lifting her onto a stretcher.
