Four young people were shot and wounded \u2014 including a teen now fighting for his life \u2014 during a wild Bronx car meetup<\/a> that ended in dozens of bullets fired, police sources said Monday.<\/p>\n

The rowdy meetup, part of an alarming trend that has taken hold on social media, sparked off about 5:40 a.m. Sunday on E. 233rd St. near Boston Road in Baychester, police said.<\/p>\n

The teen, struck in the head, is in critical condition at BronxCare Health System.<\/p>\n

In addition, a 22-year-old man shot in the chest and a 20-year-old woman shot in the foot were taken by medics to Jacobi Medical Center in stable condition.<\/p>\n

A 25-year-old woman delivering slushies shot in the left foot was also taken to BronxCare Health System.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t clear what sparked the shooting or who was targeted. Sources said upwards of 60 shell casings were found at the scene.<\/p>\n

A fifth victim, a 37-year-old woman, was treated at Jacobi Medical Center for minor injuries when a gunman several blocks away put a gun to her head and stole her phone and chain. The gunman fled in an Acura with two accomplices, police said.<\/p>\n

No arrests have been made.<\/p>\n

Car meetups <\/a>have caused concern in neighborhoods around the city, with dozens of souped-up cars converging on quiet streets, where the drivers drag racie and perform dangerous stunts.<\/p>\n

The NYPD tracks meetups promoted on social media but some are organized too quickly for authorities to react.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Four young people were shot and wounded \u2014 including a teen now fighting for his life \u2014 during…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":328443,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,262,263,266,85,267,9,24,264,10,12,63,261,265,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-328442","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-city","tag-county","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-county","tag-new-york-news","tag-news","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-crime","tag-sub-county-region","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/328442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=328442"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/328442\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/328443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=328442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=328442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=328442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
