Two people were shot Sunday near the historic Stonewall Inn in Manhattan, including one person in critical condition from a gunshot to the head, police said.
Shots rang out shortly after 10 p.m. in Sheridan Square in the West Village, which was teaming with revelers at the culmination of Pride Month. One of the victims was shot in the head and is in critical condition, according to police. The other victim was shot in the leg and is in stable condition, cops said.
Medics transported both victims to Bellevue Hospital.
“Saddened to learn about the shooting by the Stonewall Inn tonight as Pride celebrations were winding down. During a time when our city should be rejoicing and celebrating members of our diverse LGBTQ+ community, incidents like this are devastating,” Mayor Eric Adams posted on X late Sunday night.
“We’re praying for the speedy recovery of the victims in tonight’s shooting. The NYPD will work quickly and tirelessly to bring the suspects to justice,” he wrote.
