Two people were shot near the historic Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village Sunday night following the Big Apple’s Pride parade earlier in the day, according to police.
A man shot is in critical condition, fighting for his life and a woman who was shot in the leg is stable after being transported to a local hospital, sources told The Post.
Officers responded to a report of shots fired just around the corner from the LGBTQ+ landmarked bar around 10:15 p.m.
It wasn’t immediately clear if the shooting was targeted — including whether it was a hate crime — or how many suspects were involved.
No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
Mayor Eric Adams said he was briefed on the shooting in a statement he shared on social media.
“Saddened to learn about the shooting by the Stonewall Inn tonight as Pride celebrations were winding down,” Adams said on X. “During a time when our city should be rejoicing and celebrating members of our diverse LGBTQ+ community, incidents like this are devastating.”
“We’re praying for the speedy recovery of the victims in tonight’s shooting,” he added. “The NYPD will work quickly and tirelessly to bring the suspects to justice.”
