A wild early morning shootout on Tuesday in Bedford Park sent two victims to the hospital, police and witnesses said.
The incident was reported at 1:15 a.m., on Tuesday, July 26. Upon their arrival, police discovered two people shot outside of 264 E. 199 Street, near Briggs Avenue. According to a NYPD source, one victim was shot in the leg and the other in the arm. Both were transported to St. Barnabas Hospital and were expected to fully recover.
A second police source said detectives were looking for a black male wearing a purple jacket who was seen running from the scene. One resident of the building, who declined to give her name, said, "They were arguing. It was horrible. One of the victims was in front the building until the first two gunshots went off."
The resident said a second person was shot a minute or two later, a short distance away.
By late Tuesday morning, police still had no suspects in connection to the case.
