Police in the Bronx were investigating a quadruple shooting in a crowded park, where victims as young as 3 and 6 years old were taken to the hospital.
A gunman opened fire a few minutes before 6 p.m., striking four people next to St. James Park in the Fordham Manor section of the borough.
The four victims, two adult males and two young boys, were on the sidewalk outside the park when they were injured, NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said Tuesday night.
