A 16-year-old girl was wounded as gunfire erupted during an argument between two groups on Long Island late Wednesday, authorities say.
The warring groups were fighting -- it's not clear about what -- on Cahill Street in North Amityville around 8:30 p.m. when Suffolk County police say someone fired one shot. The 16-year-old girl, who lives in North Amityville, was hit in the leg, they say.
Everyone but the victim ran off before police even arrived at the scene, officials said.
She was taken to a hospital for treatment and is expected to be OK. No other details were available, and authorities say their investigation is ongoing.
