New York, Jun 29 (EFE).- A shooting left two people injured Sunday near the Stonewall Inn, a United States historical monument for sexual diversity, after the LGBT+ Pride march in New York.<\/p>
“Saddened to learn about the shooting by the Stonewall Inn tonight as Pride celebrations were winding down. During a time when our city should be rejoicing and celebrating members of our diverse LGBTQ+ community, incidents like this are devastating,” Mayor Eric Adams posted on X.<\/p>
Local media reported that the shooting occurred around 10:15pm (2:15am GMT Monday) in Greenwich Village, one of New York’s iconic LGBT+ neighborhoods, while the streets were still packed with people celebrating the Pride march.<\/p>
One of the victims is in critical condition after being shot in the head, but further information about the identities of both victims, the attackers, and the motive is still unknown, according to New York Police Department informants cited by the media.<\/p>
No arrests have been announced for any alleged perpetrators.<\/p>
“We\u2019re praying for the speedy recovery of the victims in tonight\u2019s shooting. The (police) will work quickly and tirelessly to bring the suspects to justice,” the mayor wrote.<\/p>
The events occur as LGBT+ organizations have warned of rising hate crimes against sexual diversity. From May 2024 to May 2025, there were 10 deaths and 84 injuries from these types of attacks, according to a report by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.<\/p>
The organization counted a total of 932 anti-LGBT+ attacks, equivalent to 2.5 per day. More than half, 52 percent, of these attacks involve trans or gender-nonconforming people.<\/p>
Furthermore, the US has recorded at least 189 mass shootings so far in 2025, according to the civil organization Gun Violence Archive, and on Sunday, two firefighters died in a shooting in Idaho. EFE <\/p>
