The NYPD is looking for a pair of gun-toting thugs who riddled a Bronx playground with bullets and took off in a getaway car \u2014 with the two caught swapping sweaters on police surveillance video.<\/p>\n
The shooters approached a group of people at the Bathgate Playground shortly after 5 p.m., with one of the goons pulling out a gun and firing \u201cseveral rounds\u201d before running off, police said Sunday. <\/p>\n
Cops said the bullets miraculously missed the people in the park, but said the suspects are now wanted on reckless endangerment charges. <\/p>\n
