On Tuesday, within hours of each other, two women were shot in New York City, one was shot in the shoulder and was hospitalized while the other was shot in the head and was in critical condition.
Late in the afternoon a 36 year old mother was shot in the head while with her child outside of a school on Stuart Avenue in Brooklyn’s Marine Park neighborhood. It was reported that the mother and father got into an argument prior to the shooting.
At the scene, NYPD Assistant Chief Michael Kemper told reporters that “there is indication” the shooting “could have potentially been a suicide attempt.”
Around that same time in East Harlem, a 26 year old woman who was not believed to be the intended target, was shot and wounded. There were reports that the suspect, who was apprehended after the shooting, was seen firing at another man from a bicycle.
