Boy, 14, shot in daylight burst of violence on NYC street, then heads to park about a mile away: cops


A 14-year-old boy was shot in a broad-daylight burst of violence on a Queens street Friday — and traveled to a park about a mile away where cops found him wounded, police said. 

The teen was blasted in the thigh around 10:30 a.m. at Highland Avenue and Homelawn Street in Jamaica Estates, authorities said. 

He then headed to Rufus King Park about a mile away at Jamaica Avenue and 150th Street, where someone called 911, cops said.

It remained unclear later Friday how he got there. 

Responding EMS workers rushed the boy to Northwell Cohen Children’s Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition and described as uncooperative with investigators, cops and sources said. 

Police are looking for two male suspects in connection to the daytime gunplay.

The violence comes about two weeks after a gun battle during a basketball tournament at a Bronx park left a 17-year-old girl fighting for her life, killed a 32-year-old man and injured three others.

Four suspects were arrested, two of them teen boys, cops said.
