<p>Two teenage girls were shot near the Stonewall Inn as NYC Pride celebrations winded down on Sunday night, police said.</p>
<p>The incident occurred in Sheridan Square in Greenwich Village just after 10 p.m., in the vicinity of the Stonewall Inn — the historic LGBTQ bar.</p>
<p>A 16-year-old girl sustained a gunshot wound to the head and is in critical condition, while a 17-year-old girl is in stable condition after being shot in the leg, an NYPD spokesperson said. Both were transported to local hospitals.</p>
<p>The NYPD spokesperson said it is too early to know if the incident was hate crime-related and said the investigation is ongoing. No suspect has been identified.</p>
<p>New York Mayor Eric Adams said he was "saddened" to learn about the shooting.</p>
<p>"During a time when our city should be rejoicing and celebrating members of our diverse LGBTQ+ community, incidents like this are devastating," he said on X.</p>
<p>The Stonewall Inn was set to host events to celebrate NYC Pride. The bar did not immediately respond to a request for comment.</p>
<p>The Christopher Street Project, a hybrid PAC and nonprofit organization advocating for transgender rights, said in a statement that it mourned the act of violence.</p>
<p>"Tonight, we are holding the victims of the shooting outside the Stonewall Inn and their families in our hearts," it read.</p>
<p>One bystander, Vivian Lewis, told NBC New York that she was "heartbroken" after learning of the shooting when she saw police drones and ambulances.</p>
<p>"I saw medical workers scrummaging. I got sympathy adrenaline from watching that," she said.</p>
<p>The shooting happened after the the pride march on Sunday, which is among the world's largest LGBTQ demonstrations.</p>
