Violence erupted yet again in another city neighborhood, this time just before 4 p.m. Friday at Fifth and Rural avenues, where occupants in two cars exchanged gunfire, injuring a teenager riding in one of the vehicles, city police said.
This was fourth shooting in the city since Sunday afternoon.
Local law enforcement leaders, including Mayor Gabriel J. Campana and District Attorney Eric R. Linhardt, convened an emergency meeting Friday night at City Hall to set up a task force to work on ways to combat the string of shootings.
