A teenager was killed and another was wounded in separate shootings in New York City Friday night, according to police.
An 18-year-old man was shot in the chest outside of the Ingersoll Houses at 64 St Edwards St. near Downtown Brooklyn around 11:05 p.m. on Friday night, police said.
The teen was transported to Methodist Hospital where he was pronounced dead, cops said.
Police confirmed that they have a person of interest in custody in connection to the shooting.
Around the same time, a 15-year-old boy was shot in the chest in Claremont Park in the Bronx.
As officers approached the shooting victim, they encountered two males on a scooter — one of whom was holding a gun and pointing it at the officers, police and sources said.
An officer fired his weapon once in their direction, but did not hit anyone, according to police.
One of the two males has been detained and the gun was recovered, police said.
The wounded teen was taken to a local hospital where he is expected to recover.
