14-year-old girl shot in neck, 2 other teens struck in Queens

NEW YORK - A shooting wounded several teenagers in Queens on Wednesday afternoon, police said.

Several teens were walking along the sidewalk near 64-50 188th Street in Fresh Meadows around 4 p.m., the NYPD said. 

Then two cars pulled up, which sources described to FOX 5 NY as a BMW and a Dodge Charger. Two men got out of the cars, argued with someone in the group on the sidewalk, and then one man fired nine rounds from a gun, hitting a 14-year-old girl in the neck. 

She told witnesses who rushed to her side that she couldn't move.

Two 18-year-old men were also shot, police said. They ran down the street and got about half a block before collapsing, not realizing they'd been shot. One was hit in his abdomen. The other was wounded in his hip.

The two cars drove off. But a source told FOX 5 NY that a dashboard camera on another vehicle captured video of the shooting. Police have that video and are searching for the shooter.

The wounded teens were taken to NY Presbyterian Hospital in stable condition, the NYPD said. The 14-year-old girl was rushed to Long Island Jewish Hospital in critical but stable condition.

Video posted on Citizen.com showed yellow police tape blocking off an area of the sidewalk on 188th Street.

Police asked anyone with information about the shootings to contact them via Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
