On Friday afternoon, three teenagers were shot, one fatally, near a high school in the Bronx.
The shooting occurred around 1:40 p.m. on East 156th Street near the South Bronx Educational Campus, according to the NYPD. According to police, the teens were trying to walk home from school when shots were fired.
