Lead flies as three gunmen open fire on Bronx street

Three Bronx shooters opened fire at each other during a crazed caught-on-video gun battle near Yankee Stadium, police said Wednesday.

Shots rang out on Carroll Place near E. 166th St. about 12:30 a.m. May 31 after the three gunmen got into an argument, cops said.

Startling surveillance video released by the NYPD shows one gunman firing off four shots at his two rivals from the entrance to an apartment building.

The other two shooters, were wearing hoodies and standing behind an idling white sedan in the middle of the street, immediately fired back from nearly a halfblock away, letting off at least eight rounds, the video shows.

A bystander cowered behind a parked SUV as the two hooded shooters ran around looking for a better firing position. A second bystander, in the sedan. lays flat on the front seat of the auto before scrambling out of the car and running off.

Police say 13 shots were fired during the 12-second skirmish.

The two hooded gunmen ran off east on E. 166th St. while their rival fled down Carroll Place. Nobody was struck.

Cops are asking for the public’s help identifying and tracking down the shooters.

Cops in the 44th Precinct, where the shooting occurred, have seen a 17% drop in shootings this year. As of June 5, 24 shootings have been investigated in the command compared with 29 by this time last year, cops said.

Shootings throughout the Bronx have also dropped this year, from 195 by this time last year to 185 so far this year.

Anyone with information on the May 31 shootout was asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
