Two women were shot and wounded in the Bronx by a gunman aiming for someone else, police said Thursday.
The gunman was arguing with someone inside a business on the Grand Councourse near E. 188th St. about 1:50 p.m. Wednesday when it spilled outside. The gunman opened fire, sending pedestrians running for cover.
A 52-year-old woman was struck in the leg while a 44-year-old woman was hit in the leg, arm and stomach, cops said. Both were bystanders.
“She was waiting by the bus,” Solange Dassou, 36, a security guard waiting at a bus stop when the shooting started, said of one victim. “There were two shots and she was down.”
Medics took both women to St. Barnabas Hospital in stable condition.
“I ran into the store and hid in the corner. I had to escape,” Dassou said. “I was scared because he could have shot me. I’m shaking.
The shooter, wearing a tan hat and light-colored sweater, got away and has not been caught.
