Queens shootings aftermath

Community members are worried about finding somewhere safe for kids to play after recent shootings.

NEW YORK - The NYPD is questioning one person in connection with the shooting of a 16-year-old girl outside of a Queens high school on Monday afternoon.

The teen was shot in the shoulder while she was standing outside the New Dawn Charter School on 89th Ave in Jamaica.  There was apparently a large fight before the shooting.

The girl was taken to LIJ Long Island in stable condition and is expected to survive.  Police did not believe she was the intended target.

The shooting may be connected to the deadly shooting of a teen over the weekend on a basketball court in Queens.

Police released surveillance video of three suspects on Tuesday.
