\"\"News Desk:<\/strong> A 16-year-old girl was killed and two other teenagers were wounded in a shooting Friday afternoon outside a New York City high school, police said.<\/p>\n

Another 16-year-old girl was hit in the shin, and a 17-year-old boy was struck in his buttocks near the South Bronx campus, Deputy Chief Timothy McCormack of the New York Police Department said at a news conference, nbcnews reported.<\/p>\n

The teen was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital about a half-hour later, he said.<\/p>\n

Police said no arrest have been made and that officials are looking for a suspect.<\/p>\n

The victims, who police have not publicly identified but believe to be students, were leaving South Bronx High School and heading home when gunfire erupted, McCormack said.<\/p>\n

A motive in the 1:42 p.m. shooting was not yet known, he said, but the shooter was seen on security video “gesturing to somebody” before opening fire, the deputy chief said.<\/p>\n

“At this point, early in our investigation, it appears that the brazen criminals opened fire during a dispute,” New York Police Commissioner Keechant L. Sewell said at the news conference.<\/p>\n

The shooter has not been identified, but investigators were continuing to view security video of the attack, he said.<\/p>\n

Sewell described the violence as “a tragic shooting \u2014 a shooting that took the life of a teen, a young woman with a bright future.”<\/p>\n

She promised that those responsible would be brought to justice.<\/p>\n

New York Mayor Eric Adams called the attack “unacceptable.”<\/p>\n

“We lost a 16-year-old baby in the Bronx today,” he tweeted. “We pray for this young girl, for her family, and for the other two victims in the hospital.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
