Boy, 6, whose dad was fatally shot before he was born, takes bullet to chest during Coney Island mass shooting
A 6-year-old boy whose dad was fatally shot before he was born took a bullet to the chest during a July 4 mass shooting on Coney Island — and can’t understand why someone would hurt him, his mom said Monday.
The child was one of eight people, including four youngsters, wounded when gunfire shattered an annual family cookout filled with kids that began with “nothing but good vibes,” according to cops and the young victim’s mother, Ineisha Greene, 27.
“My son just keeps saying that somebody shot him. But he’s only 6,” the Bronx mom told The Post by phone Monday.
