A 15-year-old boy was killed and two other teens were shot and wounded in a pair of separate shootings in New York City that happened less than an hour apart on Tuesday, according to authorities.
The back-to-back shootings happened just 35-minutes apart in Queens and Brooklyn — with suspects in both cases still on the loose, cops said.
Officers responded to an apartment building at 80 East 93rd Street in East Flatbush around 3:33 p.m. and found a 15-year-old boy in the lobby with a gunshot wound to the head and a 16-year-old boy on the third floor who was struck in the right shoulder.
