A 17-year-old boy is in serious condition after being shot in a targeted attack at a Long Island house party on Friday night, according to police.
The teen was shot several times shortly after 11:15 p.m. on 11th Street in West Babylon, according to the Suffolk County Police Department.
The victim was taken to an area hospital in serious condition with multiple gunshot wounds and is believed to have been targeted by the gunman, Suffolk cops said.
Neighbors were shocked by the violence and said they watched in horror as the victim’s friend attempted to revive his fallen pal.
“The kid on the lawn, he was pale. I didn’t know where he had gotten struck, so I was like, ‘Is he going to be OK?’ It was upsetting,” Angela Knice told News 12.
“His friend was there with him like, ‘Stay with me, stay awake.’ He was really there for him. It was crazy.”
Knice said she initially thought the sound of gunshots was fireworks, News 12 reported.
The home where the party popped off has been a problem in the area for years, according to neighbors.
An eviction notice was issued to the four families living at the property back in June, according to the outlet.
No arrests have been made in connection with the shooting and the investigation is ongoing.
