At least 13 people shot, stabbed or hit by cars at Syracuse street party
Summer fun!
[NYPOST] At least 13 people were shot, stabbed or struck by fleeing cars at a massive street party in Syracuse early Sunday, police and a local report said.
And a wonderful time was had by all.
Hundreds of people were gathered on the 100 block of Davis Street in the city’s west side when gunfire rang out at 12:22 a.m., Syracuse police spokesman Lt. Matthew Malinowski said in a press release.
Police said four people were shot, six were stabbed or cut and three who were hit by vehicles driving away from the mayhem, police said.
The injured included three men and 10 women ranging in age from 17 to 25. All were expected to survive, Malinowski said.
Victims were either found at the scene or at area hospitals, Malinowski added.
The crowd had gathered for a block party advertised on social media, Syracuse.com reported. A neighbor told the outlet a fight broke out just before midnight, but ended quickly, before another scuffle erupted about 20 minutes later — and dozens of gunshots rang out.
Those shot included: a 17-year-old girl hit in the hip and midsection; a 20-year-old woman struck in the hip; a 20-year-old man hit in the forearm and a 22-year-old woman hit in the abdomen.
