Girl, 10, hit with BB while in class
A GROUP of lucky city high school students got to see the Broadway smash “Hamilton” and enjoy a Q&A with the cast on Wednesday.
Some of the 1,300 kids from 14 schools even got to give their own performances at the Richard Rodgers Theatre near Times Square.
The program will eventually bring 20,000 city high school kids to the private performances. A TEEN shot a BB rifle from the roof of his Bronx apartment building Wednesday afternoon, blasting a 10-year-old girl sitting in a classroom at her school next door, police said.
Lia Urena was hit in the forearm as she sat in a fifth-floor classroom at the Mott Hall Charter School on the grounds of Pubic School 63 on Franklin Ave. by E. 169th St. in Morrisania at about 2 p.m., sources said
“He was trying to shoot at the school, but he shot me instead,” Lia told WABC-TV Wednesday night. “The first shot that he did, everybody started running, but I tripped on the floor, and when I tripped on the floor he hit me on the hand and he shot me.”
A teacher and the girl’s classmates saw someone with what appeared to be a rifle on a nearby roof, and police soon arrested Anfernee Olivo, 19, who lives in the building next-door, cops sources said.
