2 teens shot near Stonewall Inn after NYC Pride march, police say
Two teenage girls were shot near the Stonewall Inn as NYC Pride celebrations winded down on Sunday night, police said. The incident occurred in Sheridan Square in Greenwich Village just after 10 p.m., in the vicinity of the Stonewall Inn — the historic LGBTQ bar. A 16-year-old girl sustained a gunshot wound to the head and is in critical condition, while a 17-year-old girl is in stable condition after being shot in the leg, an NYPD spokesperson said. Both were transported to local hospitals. The NYPD spokesperson said it is too early to know if the incident was hate crime-related and said the investigation is ongoing. No suspect has been identified. New York Mayor Eric Adams said he was 'saddened' to learn about the shooting. 'During a time when our city should be rejoicing and celebrating members of our diverse LGBTQ+ community, incidents like this are devastating,' he said on X. The Stonewall Inn was set to host events to celebrate NYC Pride. The bar did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Christopher Street Project, a hybrid PAC and nonprofit organization advocating for transgender rights, said in a statement that it mourned the act of violence. 'Tonight, we are holding the victims of the shooting outside the Stonewall Inn and their families in our hearts,' it read. One bystander, Vivian Lewis, told NBC New York that she was 'heartbroken' after learning of the shooting when she saw police drones and ambulances. "I saw medical workers scrummaging. I got sympathy adrenaline from watching that," she said. The shooting happened after the the pride march on Sunday, which is among the world's largest LGBTQ demonstrations.
