NEW YORK (WABC) – Two teenagers were shot, one of them killed, and six others stabbed during a violent day in New York City on Tuesday.

According to police, a 17-year-old was shot at the Amsterdam Houses, operated by NYCHA, on 62nd St. on Manhattan’s Upper West Side just after 11:40 p.m

Police said the victim was shot once in the back.

The teen was taken to hospital and his injuries were not considered life-threatening.

Police are still searching for the suspect, who they describe as a man in his 20s wearing a black shirt, gray sweatpants and gray and white sneakers.

The violent day began in SoHo, where a 16-year-old was shot.

At about 2:30 p.m., on an outdoor pedestrian mall connecting Spring St. and Dominick St., authorities said there were two groups of girls arguing when two boys intervened.

Investigators said one of the boys pulled out a gun and shot the 16-year-old victim in the head and leg, killing him.

The shooter and an accomplice fled on a CitiBike.

About two hours later, two teenagers stabbed two 15-year-olds to death in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

The victims were treated at Bellevue Hospital while the suspects remain at large.

And then in Far Rockaway, Queens, shortly after 6 p.m., according to police, a fight broke out between a group of people in which four other teenagers were stabbed.

The three 15-year-olds and a 16-year-old were treated in hospital.

To date, no arrests have been made in any of the incidents.
