Teen Shot In Broad Daylight On Brooklyn Street, Police Say

BROOKLYN, NY — A teenage boy was shot and wounded while standing on a Brooklyn residential street earlier this month, police said.

According to the NYPD, the shooting happened around 6 a.m. on Aug. 19 in front of a residential building at 2719 West 33rd Street, near Kaiser Park.

Officers from the 60th Precinct responded to a 911 call reporting gunfire and found an 18-year-old man outside the building with a gunshot wound to the buttocks, police said.
