Police say a drive-by shooting in the Bronx sent four people to the hospital, with one of them being in critical condition.
Police say four people, including two teenagers, were shot during a drive-by shooting on Burke Avenue in Allerton.
According to authorities, the black SUV linked to the incident drove down Burke Avenue just after 5 p.m. when two people started shooting from the back seat of the vehicle.
One of the shots struck an 18-year-old in the head. Authorities say the 18-year-old who is in the hospital was found with an imitation pistol near his body. Police are investigating if he was the intended target.
Others injured include a 15-year-old, a 26-year-old man who was shot in the torso and a 59-year-old woman who was shot in the leg. They're expected to be OK, police say.
Police are now looking for three suspects: the driver and two shooters from that black SUV.
