A 17-year-old boy was shot and killed in Brooklyn late Wednesday, and police say they’re looking for two masked suspects in the case. <\/p>\n
They’re also investigating a separate case involving a stabbing at a nearby Dollar Tree.<\/p>\n
In the first case, officers responding to a 911 call in East New York found the boy, identified as Ahmir Jordan of Brooklyn, with a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
No arrests have been made.<\/p>\n
Minutes later, in what police say was a separate incident nearby, three teenage girls were hurt in a stabbing at a Dollar Tree. Cops say a 13-year-old was stabbed multiple times in the abdomen; a 15-year-old also was stabbed in the abdomen; and a 16-year-old girl had a slash wound. <\/p>\n
The first two were taken to a hospital and are expected to be OK. A 44-year-old woman was taken into custody at the scene and later charged with assault and criminal possession of a weapon. Police say the stabbing stemmed from an argument between the woman and the girls when the trio walked into the store.<\/p>\n
