Gun-toting NYC road ragers get in shootout over parking spot, wounding innocent woman: cops
Two gun-wielding road ragers traded shots in a fight over a Bronx parking spot Thursday — wounding a female bystander and leaving one of the gunmen fighting for his life, cops and sources said.
The violence erupted when a 66-year-old man whipped out a gun during an argument over the spot before his rival blasted him multiple times in the chest near Bryant Avenue and Jennings Street in Crotona Park East around 9 a.m., according to sources and cops.
A 48-year-old woman — whom police described as an unintended target — was grazed in the ankle during the chaos, where both men allegedly opened fire.
The wounded sexagenarian was rushed by medics to St. Barnabas Hospital in critical condition while the woman is in stable condition, according to cops.
Police said the gunman fled southbound on Bryant Avenue and has yet to be caught.
It’s unclear if he was wounded.
The mayhem comes as shooting incidents surged by 12.5% in the 42nd Precinct compared to the same time period last year, with 27 shootings recorded through Sept. 1, according to NYPD data.
