Police confirm a male teen was shot in Fordham Manor on Thursday and is being treated at Jacobi hospital.

 

Police said officers responded to a call regarding the incident in which a 15-year-old boy was shot once in the left leg at approximately 4.15 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 10, at 2543 Webster Avenue, which is the location of Burlington store.

 

They said the victim was brought to Jacobi Medical Center where he was in stable condition.

Police said the shooter fled the scene in an unidentified vehicle. The investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made.

 

Norwood News spoke to a number of residents/shoppers in a few local eateries in the area in the hours following the shooting. Most people said they had not seen the incident or were too busy to respond.

Police were seen placing at least one orange identification cone on a section of the cordoned off crime scene which stretched from the street area outside Burlington store as far as a bus stop on Fordham Road.

 

As reported, the NYPD has since released a video of a person of interest who is wanted for questioning in connection with the shooting. Police officials say the individual displayed a firearm from the backseat of a vehicle and proceeded to discharge the weapon, striking the teen in the leg. The video is attached again below.
