Bronx Shooting Leaves Six Injured, Including Mother Used as Human Shield

Two gunmen opened fire at a Bronx convenience store, injuring six people, as one of the intended targets used a mother and her 12-year-old daughter as shields.

The shooting occurred Monday evening at a convenience store on White Plains Road in the Bronx, New York, injuring six people, including a 40-year-old mother and her 12-year-old daughter.
Two gunmen targeted a group outside the store, who then fled inside; one of the intended targets used the mother as a human shield, leaving her shot in the stomach and her daughter shot in the leg.
Four other victims, young men aged 18 to 21, sustained gunshot wounds to their arms and legs but are expected to recover.
The gunmen fled the scene, and police are reviewing surveillance footage to identify the suspects, described as wearing dark clothing and a blue surgical mask.
Authorities have not determined a motive for the shooting and are urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.
