One of the victims of the Sunday shooting near New York’s Stonewall Inn appears to be the initial shooter, according to NBC. The shooting occurred at around 10:15 p.m., after the annual New York Pride march. According to police, two groups of young people broke into a fight outside the bar when the alleged shooter, a 16-year-old girl, pulled a 9-millimeter gun on a boy but missed. The bullet instead hit the leg of a bystander, a 17-year-old New Jersey girl who came to celebrate Pride. The teens fled the scene, and a boy who was with the initial shooter started firing, hitting the his friend in the head. Both the initial shooter and the injured bystander are receiving treatment in the hospital. The alleged initial shooter is in police custody, but due to critical injury, is not expected to be questioned immediately. Another 17-year-old being treated for a stab wound to the stomach claims she was at the scene, though it is unclear if her injury is connected to the shooting. Despite the bar’s conspicuous legacy as the birthplace of the Stonewall Riots, which inspired the Pride march, police believe the crimes were unrelated to the Pride celebrations.
