Two teenage girls were shot Sunday night near the Stonewall Inn as New York City wrapped up its annual Pride March celebrations, police said.

The incident happened around 10:15 p.m. on Sheridan Square, just steps from the historic LGBTQ+ landmark and national monument in Greenwich Village.

According to police, a 16-year-old girl was shot in the head and a 17-year-old girl was shot in the leg. Both were transported to nearby hospitals.

The 17-year-old was said to be stable, while the teen shot in the head remains in critical condition.

Police say a fight was about to break out among 10 to 12 teenagers and another group who did know each other. That’s when a 16-year-old girl pulled a gun out and pointed it inches away from the head of a man in the crowd.

According to officials, the 16-year-old girl pulled the trigger twice but those shots didn’t hit the man. Instead, they hit a 17-year-old girl in her legs.

The victim had no relation to the groups who were fighting and was just visiting from New Jersey, police said.

The 16-year-old shooter fled the scene, which is when a male from that same teen group took out his gun and fired into the crowd, according to officials. Police say that gunshot hit the original female shooter in the head.

"From what I saw, it was like zero to 100. There was an argument, there was a group of people and then like shots there," Djay Dickerson, who works at a bar nearby, said.

Neighbors say they're surprised by the violence.

"It's terrible. It's terrible because it's usually very peaceful. People mean well. [There's] like a million people that attend the thing and you don't hear of violence," Patrick Hughes, wo lives nearby, said.

"It was kind of scary because we've lived here for 20 years and we've never seen anything like that," Michael Curry said.

It remains unclear whether the incident was connected to any official Pride events.

“Saddened to learn about the shooting by the Stonewall Inn tonight as Pride celebrations were winding down. During a time when our city should be rejoicing and celebrating members of our diverse LGBTQ+ community, incidents like this are devastating,” Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement late Sunday night.

Gov. Kathy Hochul responded to the shooting at a gun violence prevention event in Brooklyn Monday. 

"One shooting victim is too many. One of the busiest days of the year in Greenwich Village, two little girls are shot, teenage girls, steps from the historic Stonewall Inn where thousands and thousands had gathered earlier. Screams rippled down the block, people ran for their lives. That in itself is a traumatic experience. It shakes you to your core," she said.

The investigation is ongoing.
