Teen Shot In Brooklyn Bodega; Police Search For Gunman: NYPD

BROOKLYN, NY — Authorities are looking for a masked gunman who fired multiple shots at a 16-year-old boy shopping inside a Brooklyn bodega.

Police said the teenager was inside 24/7 Eats Deli & Grill at Sutter Ave. and Crystal St. in East New York around 9:25 p.m. on Jan. 5 when the shooter entered the store.

The victim was brought to Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition, a police spokesperson said.

It was unclear whether the victim and suspect knew each other. Police have not identified the suspect, and the victim's name has not been released.

No arrests have been made and an investigation is ongoing, police said.
