NYC mom shot and killed, kids wounded as cops hunt for gunman: NYPD

A mom was shot and killed and her two kids were hurt when bullets rang out inside a Bronx building early Saturday — and cops were hunting for the gunman, who may be the victim’s boyfriend, authorities and sources said.

The 40-year-old was shot in the torso, her 8-year-old son was shot in the left arm and her 16-year-old son was struck in the buttocks in an apartment at 226 East 203rd St. near the Grand Concourse around 5 a.m., an NYPD spokesman said.

Rescue workers tried to save the mom, but she was pronounced dead at 6:12 a.m., cops said.

The 8-year-old was taken to Jacobi Hospital and the teen was being treated at St. Barnabas Hospital, cops said.

They were expected to survive.

A trail of blood could be seen from the building’s entrance, leading into the lobby, up the stairs, and to the fifth floor where the shooting occurred.

One neighbor heard a man and a woman yelling at each other before the killing.
