BREAKING: A 15-year-old boy was shot in the head early this morning at the Albany Houses, a NYCHA complex located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The shooting occurred around 4 a.m. at 1414 Bergen St., according to police officials.
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) rushed the teen to Kings County Hospital, where he is currently listed in critical condition. The police have yet to make any arrests, and the investigation into this alarming incident is ongoing.
This shooting adds to a troubling trend as authorities continue to probe a separate incident of gun violence involving a teenager. Earlier this week, a Connecticut teen was fatally shot at a public housing complex in the Bronx, with that case also under active investigation.
The 77th Precinct is actively pursuing leads but has not released further details about potential suspects or motives. Local residents are understandably shaken, as violence in public housing complexes raises significant safety concerns.
As the investigation unfolds, police are urging anyone with information to come forward. This incident highlights the urgent need for community engagement and preventive measures against youth violence.
