A 4-year-old boy was fatally shot by a stray bullet while at a Bronx playground this evening as two thugs were firing at each other, law enforcement sources told The Post.
The shooting happened on East 165th Street in the Forest Houses in Morrisania around 9:40 p.m. after there was a dispute following a game in a basketball tournament, the sources said.
The child, identified as Lloyd Morgan of Mannor Avenue in The Bronx, was at an adjacent playground when he was shot in the head, the sources said.
A 27-year-old man was struck in the stomach and a 21-year-old man was shot in the arm, sources said. The men are both listed in stable condition.
It wasn’t immediately clear if those men were involved in the gunplay.
Sources said a 9mm and a .45 caliber gun were used in the shootout.
