Three innocent bystanders were injured when a fight escalated into gunfire near a McDonald's restaurant in the Bronx, police said.
The shooting occurred around 7:30 p.m. Friday in the Claremont neighborhood. A large fight broke out on the sidewalk outside the McDonald's on Webster Avenue.
Witnesses said they heard at least six gunshots, sending people running from the restaurant.
"Everybody just started running toward Webster Avenue," said a witness.
One of the bullets pierced the window of the restaurant, sending glass flying into the face of someone inside, according to police. Outside, another bullet hit a woman in the leg, and another man had shards of glass in his arm.
Police say a 41-year-old woman, a 27-year-old man and a 22-year-old man were taken to Lincoln and St. Barnabas hospitals with injuries that weren't life-threatening.
Police initially said they thought one of the injured victims had been stabbed, but the lacerations turned out to be from the shattered glass.
