Man in Custody After Bronx Apartment Shooting
Two people were injured and a suspect barricaded himself in an apartment before being apprehended.
A man was taken into custody Saturday night after shooting two people and barricading himself inside a New York City apartment.
Authorities responded to a report of shots fired at an apartment building in the Bronx's Claremont neighborhood shortly before 9:30 p.m. Police said the man fired multiple shots in the building's hallway before retreating into an apartment.
A 70-year-old woman sustained a gunshot wound to the abdomen, and a 60-year-old man was shot in the torso. Both victims were transported to St. Barnabas Hospital and are reported to be in stable condition.
The suspect, whose identity has not been released, was taken into police custody. It remains unclear if the suspect had any prior relationship with the victims.
