BRONX - Cops released the video of the suspected masked gunman who shot up a Bronx McDonald’s and wounded two teenagers over the weekend.

At around 9:50 pm on July 6, the gunman opened fire inside the McDonald’s at 2516 White Plains Road. Cops said the gunman fired off at least six rounds striking the teens before running off. 


A 12-year-old male was shot in the back and left leg. A 13-year-old male was shot in the left thigh. Both were taken to Jacobi Medical Center where they are listed in stable condition.


News 12 reported that police said the two victims were the intended targets.
