14 SHOT IN SINGLE DAY
The scorching spring heat brought with it a wave of gun violence yesterday, with 14 people shot in eight incidents throughout the city.
In Harlem, a 13-year-old boy was shot in the head as hundreds of teens gathered on West 121st Street and Lenox Avenue at around 1:20 a.m.
The youth, Chris Owens, was at St. Luke’s Hospital in critical condition and on life support, police sources said.
“My nephew got hit in the head with a .45,” said the boy’s uncle. “How do you think I feel? I can’t even speak.”
Two others, including a correction officer, were hit in the legs and expected to recover.
In The Bronx last night, a man was shot in the head and listed in critical condition, after a 5:19 p.m. assault at 1820 Pelham Parkway, cops said. The shooter fled immediately.
The overnight bloodbath began at 11:45 p.m. Saturday in The Bronx, at Story and Colgate avenues, where a man, 44, was shot four times in the torso. He was not expected to survive.
