The girl was struck multiple times in the body when bullets flew minutes before midnight outside the fast food joint on Pennsylvania Avenue near Stanley Avenue in New Lots, authorities said.

Overview

  • The shooting took place just before midnight on Monday, July 20, outside the McDonald's at 835 Pennsylvania Avenue in the New Lots section of Brooklyn and prompted an immediate police response.
  • A 17-year-old girl was struck multiple times, a 19-year-old man was shot in the face, and an 18-year-old male suffered facial lacerations after a fall; all three were taken to Brookdale Hospital and are expected to survive.
  • Investigators recovered multiple shell casings at the scene and are canvassing security-camera footage from the restaurant and nearby lots to identify the gunman.
  • No arrests have been made and police have not announced a motive, so authorities are urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers or the NYPD tip line; tips are treated as confidential.
  • The incident comes as 75th Precinct data showed a modest rise in shootings but a drop in shooting victims earlier this month, underscoring local concerns about public-place gun violence and the role of community tips in solving cases.
