A 14-year-old girl and three other teens were shot by a gunman who opened fire during a chaotic broad-daylight brawl in the Bronx Friday, cops said.

Shots were fired at approximately 4 p.m. on Overing Street in Westchester Square following an altercation among a sizable group of young people that quickly escalated, according to police reports.

A 13-year-old boy was struck in the left leg while a 14-year-old girl was also hit in the same spot by a lone shooter who approached the melee.

Another 14-year-old boy suffered a graze wound to his right foot and a 15-year-old boy was grazed in both legs, authorities said.

All four victims were rushed to Jacobi Hospital in stable condition.

The shooter fled the scene on foot, leaving the teens behind as bystanders called 911.

Police have not yet identified the suspect, and no arrests have been made.

Detectives are canvassing the area for witnesses and reviewing surveillance footage in hopes of identifying the gunman.

Investigators are also working to determine what sparked the clash that erupted into gunfire.


New York City has seen a decline in violent crime, though the Bronx continues to be plagued by elevated levels of shootings compared to the other four boroughs.
New York City has seen a decline in violent crime, though the Bronx continues to be plagued by elevated levels of shootings compared to the other four boroughs.

Murders in the Bronx are down nearly 15% so far this year — with 64 reported through mid-August compared to 75 during the same period in 2024.

Shootings have also plunged more than 30%, helping drive citywide reductions in gun violence to record lows.

Felony assaults declined nearly 8% in the latest 28-day period, though overall levels remain elevated compared to pre-pandemic years.

Robberies are essentially flat, while rape reports have risen borough-wide in line with increases across New York City.

Authorities attribute the improvements to focused law enforcement efforts and local anti-violence initiatives, although they caution that the Bronx continues to face higher levels of violent crime compared to other areas of the city.
