ASBURY PARK Police are investigating the shooting of a 17-year-old city girl
who was
hit by a bullet Monday as she sat in the back seat of a vehicle, authorities
said.
The girl, whose name was not released, was still in the hospital Tuesday, but
her
injuries were not considered life threatening, police said.
Around 9:15 p.m. Monday, the girl was in the back seat of a vehicle that was
also
occupied by two other people. The driver pulled out of the parking lot of the
McDonald's
restaurant on Main Street and turned left onto Sixth Avenue, police said. As
they headed
east on the 800 block of Sixth Avenue, shots were fired into the vehicle, said
Capt. David
Kelso.
The girl was struck in the shoulder, he said. Neither the driver nor the
front-seat
passenger was hit, Kelso said.
Police are still trying to determine if the bullets were fired by someone who
was
standing on the street or who was in another vehicle.
The investigation is being handled by city Detectives April Bird and Terry
Williams, along with Detective Louis Zuppa of the Monmouth County Prosecutor's
Office.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at (732) 502-5770 or the city's
tip
line at 1-800-799-828
