Five people, including a 14-year-old boy, were shot in three boroughs within a 21-minute span Saturday night, police sources said.
The bloodshed began at 9:33 p.m. when a gunman blasted away on 106th Ave. near 180th St. in Jamaica, Queens, striking a woman in her 20s in her leg. Paramedics rushed the wounded woman to Jamaica Hospital.
Shots were heard again six minutes later — this time in St. George, Staten Island. Police sources said a gunman fired off several rounds inside Mahoney Playground on Crescent Ave. near Jersey St. at 9:39 p.m., striking a 14-year-old boy in the chest.
Another round went wild and punched its way through a home just paces from the park, hitting a 23-year-old woman in the arm, sources said. Both victims were taken to Richmond University Medical Center, an FDNY spokesman said.
The violent spree ended at 9:54 p.m., when two men in their 20s were shot on Park Ave. near E. 188th St. in the Fordham Heights section of the Bronx.
Gun control works!!!
Look how successful thugs, gangsters and criminals are, they agree. Control guns, PLease.
Why do they do this, seems like all the time? It's like none of the others really matter, just that kid.
Interesting - cities with the strictest gun control 0 NYC and Chicago are plagued with gun violence.
it’s the Daily News doing what it does best: pandering to politics. Politics PLUS money is like Never-Never Land to them.
If only that had gun control laws there!!! (oh wait... they do)
Well the Left will tell you, it’s our fault for demanding our gun rights be honored. The idea being that guns were carried into a good gun control district. Truth be told, the guns were probably there all along, owned and used by criminals.
You know, if all guns were outlawed, pot owners wouldn’t have guns.
I sure hope the shooters didn’t have more than seven rounds in their mags or they’ll be in BIG trouble.
Strict gun control is such a wonderful plan, and it works so well.

Which side will Obama support? Will he ship weapons to the rebels? Or, to the gangs that are already in control?
But Guns are illegal in NYC!
How could this happen!?
The wider matter is why is this becoming more frequent as they crack down on us?
There is some serious social pressure bubbling in this administration.
Gang initiation?
I blame Chris Crispy.
They got the guns in Joisey...
No wait, they have tough gun laws too..
Maybe they got them from Amish farmers in Pa..
Per Drudge, one suspect shooter is Billy James, Jr. 17 years old. Amish.
Gangbanger, bet yer boots.
A guy might need a kevlar jacket walking around that town - I suppose they are illegal, also.
But I bet we see his momma come out, say that he was a good boy, was turning his life around, and all of that.
Dang! Just Dang!
Those Amish sure are aholes, who would send their kids out to decide.
The punk went all Rumspringa on dey ***
Yes, I’m going with the Amish Farmers... Buzzzzt! Oh well, nevermind. :^)
I hate it when rounds do that, all by themselves. Nothing worse than a round that up and decides to go wild.
