NEW YORK—Two teenagers were taken into custody suspected of shooting a BB gun resembling a rifle at a public school on the Lower East Side, on Wednesday. At least one person was injured in the incident. The teenagers were not students at the school.
“My office window has been shot before,” said Brett Gustafson, principal of Meyer London Public School 2. “The school windows have been shot out five times in the last two months.”
A custodian at the Meyer London Public School 2 was hit and treated briefly by paramedics in an ambulance.
The two suspects, around 15 years old, live on the second floor of a building on Henry Street, adjacent to the Meyer London Public School 2.
