The teen was struck in the arm when shots rang out near the intersection of 74th Street and Grand Avenue in Elmhurst around 1:45 p.m.
The victim, who is the son of an NYPD officer, ran inside Maspeth High School for help and was taken to the hospital.Police sources tell Eyewitness News that it remains unclear whether the victim was the intended target of the shooting.
He was walking with another male at the time of the incident who might have been the intended target."It all started with a fight, literally in a Burger King right there," one student said."There was a fight, two boys going at each other. Someone threw a trash can, and now this." Two suspects were seen fleeing on mopeds, and police later said two 15-year-old persons of interest were taken into custody.The school was briefly put on lockdown.
"The NYPD, School Safety Agents, and school staff placed Maspeth High School on a hard lockdown to ensure all students at Maspeth are safe while the NYPD responds to an off-campus incident," the Department of Education said in a statement."The lockdown has been lifted, and the NYPD and school safety are assisting with dismissal."
