15-Year-Old Arrested In Brooklyn Quadruple Shooting

by

An arrest has been made in a quadruple shooting in Brooklyn earlier this week. The suspect: a 15-year-old boy.

The boy has not been identified because, well, he’s 15!

The shooting happened Monday night at a playground on Fulton Street, and is just the latest in a series of shootings involving kids.

During the shooting, a 16-year-old boy was shot in the left arm, an 18-year-old man was grazed in the lower back, a 16-year-old boy was grazed in the right arm,
and a 13-year-old girl was grazed in the back.

Earlier this month, two kids also were shot in Brooklyn. Last month, a 4-year-old was killed in a shootout at a charity basketball game, also in Brooklyn. In that case, 17-year-old Rondell “Spyder” Pinkerton is the suspected trigger-man.

The unidentified teen has been hit with charges of attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon.
