Teen girl shot in the face

NYC bloody weekend

By TINA MOORE

Bullets flew in the Big Apple Saturday night into Sunday with at least eight shootings in The Bronx, Manhattan and Brooklyn that left two men dead — and a teenage girl shot in the face, according to the NYPD.

The 17-year-old girl was at a party at 500 Trinity Ave. in The Bronx when a person fired into the crowd around 1 a.m. Sunday, police said.

The bullet went in through her right temple and came out her left nostril, cops said. She was taken to Lincoln Hospital in stable condition.

“She’s lucky,” a police source said. “That could have been a lot worse.”

No arrests were immediately made in that shooting or the two fatal incidents of gunfire in Brooklyn — one of which also involved a teen victim.

In the first, an 18-year-old man was shot twice in the head around 11 p.m. Saturday at Avenue W and Batchelder Street in Sheepshead Bay.

He was rushed to Coney Island Hospital but didn’t survive, cops said.

A few hours later, a 32-year-old man was shot in the torso around 3 a.m. Sunday at 23 New Lots Ave., also in Brooklyn, police said.

He was taken to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

The identities of each of the victims was withheld pending family notification.

Police said Saturday night’s violence started around 5 p.m. at 2829 Central Ave. in The Bronx, when a 37-year-old man was shot during a robbery.

The gunman took the victim’s jewelry and then shot him twice in the right leg, cops said. There was no immediate arrest.

Other shootings in The Bronx included a 20-year-old who was struck in the right leg around 10 p.m. at East 188th Street and Marion Avenue.

Just a little over an hour later, a 31-year-old was shot in the left arm by an unknown shooter around 11:20 p.m. at East 194th Street and Marion Avenue, cops said.

A 32-year-old man was shot in the left leg just before 11 p.m. at 1773 Vyse Ave., also in The Bronx. He was expected to survive but was uncooperative, cops said.

A man shot himself in the subway system in Harlem, cops said.

The man was found with a gunshot wound on the No. 2 and 3 subway line at 116th Street and Lenox Avenue around 3 a.m., cops said.

Police found a gun and determined that the man shot himself. He was in stable condition.
