Teen Girls Shot Near Stonewall After Pride March

Two teenage girls, aged 16 and 17, were shot late Sunday night near Manhattan's Stonewall Inn as Pride celebrations concluded, following the NYC Pride March. The 16-year-old was critically injured after being shot in the head, while the 17-year-old was shot in the leg and is in stable condition. The shooting took place around 10:15 p.m. in the crowded West Village, and police have not yet determined a motive or made arrests. Witnesses and officials indicated a fight may have preceded the incident, and a firearm was recovered at the scene. Mayor Eric Adams called the shooting 'devastating' for the LGBTQ+ community and reaffirmed the NYPD's commitment to finding those responsible. The investigation remains ongoing as the city copes with violence during Pride celebrations.
