Police say two teenage girls were shot outside a McDonald's on Mermaid Avenue in Coney Island just after 4:30pm on Tuesday. A woman who wanted to remain anonymous says she saw the chaotic events unfold. "We were in the car turning and we saw the guy standing by the door there, shooting. By the time we came out, everyone was just running out," she said. Police say a 16-year-old girl was shot in the leg and a 14-year-old girl was shot in the foot. Investigators say they were shot outside of the McDonald’s, but couldn't confirm if the shooter was inside or outside. More on this from News 12 Brooklyn.
