The shooting happened during rush hour, just steps from a busy bus stop.<\/p>\n<p>Police identified the victim as Christopher Redding, 16. Investigators say Redding and the gunman got into an argument inside the nearby McDonald\u2019s before the suspect opened fire about a block away.<\/p>\n<p>Surveillance video shows four suspects &#8211; three males and one female &#8211; hanging out inside a nearby building before gathering near the bus stop moments before the shooting. Detectives say Christopher was struck along with two other teens, who survived their injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Police were seen patrolling both the McDonald\u2019s and a nearby Wendy\u2019s just steps from the 50th Precinct.
