EAST NEW YORK, Brooklyn (WABC) — A 17-year-old girl and a 19-year-old man are recovering after they were shot in a McDonald’s parking lot in Brooklyn late Monday night, police said.<\/p>\n
The shooting happened just before midnight outside the fast-food restaurant on Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York.<\/p>\n
Police say the bullets were aimed at three teenagers standing near a white Honda Pilot near the drive-thru.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old was shot in the face and the 17-year-old was shot at least five times.<\/p>\n
An 18-year-old man ran away before falling and accidentally cutting his face.<\/p>\n
All three victims were taken to Brookdale University Hospital and are expected to survive.<\/p>\n
Investigators have not said what led to the shooting, and no arrests were immediately made.<\/p>\n
As police search for the shooter, anti-violence community activists like Thomas Haynes are trying to make a change.<\/p>\n
“It’s sad because it’s in our communities…this is not a third world country, this is America, this is New York, Brooklyn,” Haynes said. “How we can’t walk from store to store or walk from McDonald’s without being shot.”<\/p>\n
Police are searching for the gunman as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n
Authorities are canvassing nearby businesses for surveillance video. So far there are no suspects, motives or arrests.<\/p>\n
