What was supposed to be a night of celebration and pride in New York ended in tragedy near the historic Stonewall Inn, the epicenter of the LGBTQ+ movement, when a shooting left two teenagers wounded on Sunday night.

According to Mayor Eric Adams, the incident occurred as the Pride festivities were concluding in the city. “I am saddened to learn of the shooting at the Stonewall Inn tonight just as Pride celebrations were coming to a close. At a time when our city should be celebrating members of our diverse LGBTQ+ community, incidents like this are devastating,” he wrote on social media X.

The shots rang out shortly after 10 p.m. at 3 Sheridan Square in Greenwich Village, just steps from the iconic bar that was the site of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, an event that sparked the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.

According to police cited by WABC, the shooting appears to have stemmed from an argument, although the exact motive remains unclear and no arrests have been made so far.

The victims are two teenagers: a 16-year-old girl who was shot in the head and was taken to the hospital in critical condition, and a 17-year-old girl with a gunshot wound to the leg, whose condition is stable.

During the investigation, a gun was recovered at the scene, while the search continues to find the person responsible for the attack.

The Stonewall Inn was declared a national monument in 2016 by former President Barack Obama, becoming the first national park in the country dedicated to LGBTQ+ history. The establishment is recognized worldwide as a turning point where guests and activists stood up to routine police raids, giving rise to a movement that transformed the fight for equality in the United States and around the world.
