Four people, three of whom are teenagers, were injured in a quadruple shooting in the Bronx Tuesday evening, according to police and fire officials.

The incident occurred near Daly Avenue and East 180th Street in the West Farms section just before 6 p.m., police said. All four of the victims are men.

A 17-year-old was shot in the leg and buttocks, while a 14-year-old was hit in both legs and a 15-year-old shot in one leg, police said. A bullet also grazed the face of a 62-year-old.

The victims were taken to nearby hospitals, and all are expected to survive, according to police.

A motive for the shooting was not immediately clear, and it was not known how many shots were fired or if any of the victims were intended targets. At least 10 evidence markers were seen on the sidewalk outside a deli where the shooting went down, with officers seen picking up bullet casings and swarming the entrance of an apartment building.

Police said they are searching for two shootings who walked up to the group and opened fire. One of the alleged gunmen was said to be wearing all black and ran away after opening fire.

No arrests have yet been made, and police did not have anyone in custody. An investigation is ongoing.
