Bronx shooting: Masked trio guns down two people outside apartment building

Police in the Bronx are looking for a group of masked suspects behind a shooting on Sunday night that left two people wounded.

According to police sources, the gunfire erupted at around 8:23 p.m. on Sept. 14 outside of 356 East 152 St. in the South Bronx.

Law enforcement sources said the two victims, a 43-year-old woman and a 41-year-old man, were standing outside the apartment building when three suspects approached.
