10:35 AM PT -- NBC 4 New York cites a law enforcement source that says the 16-year-old girl who was wounded in Sunday night's shooting may be the initial shooter. She's reportedly believed to have pulled out a gun and fired first.
ABC7 New York said the 17-year-old girl who was struck was not the intended target. The 16-year-old girl was struck in the head by a bullet fired by her alleged accomplice, an unidentified male who's still at large. The 16-year-old is in police custody but is still hospitalized.
