A woman was shot while sitting in a car in the Bronx Monday afternoon, and a man who was sitting in the driver's seat was also hurt, police said.
The 27-year-old woman was sitting in the 1997 Chevy Astro van in front of 1535 Westchester Ave. in the Soundview neighborhood around 3:15 p.m. when several men approached and one of them shot into the car, hitting her in the left arm.
The group of suspects then ran away.
An 18-year-old man who was in the driver's seat received cuts to his face from flying debris in the shooting, police said.
The shooting took place on a busy store-lined avenue and sent panicked pedestrians running.
"It was havoc, people gathering in different places, there was a lot of running and people looking," said witness Norma Colon.
The two victims were taken to Jacobi Medical Center and are in stable condition.
