A 34-year-old woman was shot multiple times while sitting inside her vehicle in the Throggs Neck neighborhood of the Bronx, prompting a police search for two masked suspects who fled the scene.
The shooting occurred outside a residence while the woman’s son was nearby, turning what appeared to be a targeted attack into a frightening incident for the family and surrounding neighborhood.
According to authorities, two masked individuals approached the woman’s vehicle and opened fire, striking her several times before escaping in an SUV. Emergency responders rushed the victim to a hospital, where she was listed in stable condition.
Police have launched an investigation and are working to determine the circumstances and motive behind the shooting. Investigators are also searching for surveillance footage and other evidence that could help identify the suspects and trace the getaway vehicle.
No arrests have been announced, and the search for the two masked gunmen remains ongoing.
The incident adds to concerns over gun violence in New York City, even as authorities continue efforts to reduce shootings and remove illegal firearms from the streets.
