An innocent 63-year-old bystander and a 21-year-old man were shot in broad daylight on a busy Manhattan street Tuesday afternoon, while the two suspects responsible remain on the lam, according to authorities.
Police responded to a 911 call at 2:30 p.m. about multiple people shot at East Broadway and Clinton Street on the Lower East Side, according to the NYPD.
Cops found a 63-year-old woman with a gunshot wound to the right foot and a 21-year-old who had been shot in the right leg when they responded to the scene.
The woman appeared to have been an innocent bystander, sources said.
It’s unclear whether the younger victim was an intended target of the gunfire.
Two male suspects — one in a tan hooded shirt and one in a green hooded shirt — fled on a bike after the shots rang out, sources added.
Two shell casings were recovered on the scene.
Both victims were taken to Bellevue Hospital and are in stable condition, according to cops.
It is unclear what sparked the shooting.
The investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
