The gunman who shot six men in the Bronx are the target of an intense manhunt.

According to the police, two gunmen parked their scooters in St. James Park, climbed a set of steps, and opened fire on the group of guys beneath the scaffolding near the intersection of Morris Avenue and 191st Street, firing nine shots.

It took place in the Fordham section on Wednesday at about 8:15 p.m.

Cameras from Eyewitness News began to record as it seemed that one person was being taken to an ambulance for medical assistance.

One man is in his early 30s, while the other five are in their 20s.

Every victim was shot in a different bodily part, and they are all healing in nearby hospitals.

The good news is that it is anticipated that every man will live.

As they looked for solutions, the police gave an update.

“We’re trying to talk to victims, there are victims in surgery right now, victims that aren’t in surgery, but our officers are fanned out across the hospital trying to find out what happened,” said Assistant Chief Benjamin Gurley of the NYPD.

It’s unclear, according to the police, if this was a gang-related event.

There have been 13 shooting incidents in the 52nd Precinct, compared to 10 at the same period last year, according to NYPD Compstats.
