Five people were wounded in Yonkers Saturday night in two separate shootings that may be linked to gang activity in the community, city officials said at a morning press conference.

The first victims were shot around 9 p.m. on Locust Hill Avenue, where a pair of 18-year-olds were injured, police said. Officials said a female victim was struck in the elbow and a male was shot in the chest, and may have a punctured lung. He was last listed in critical condition. "The initial shooting took place during a memorial service at a park, that seems to have started this chain of events," Commissioner Christopher Sapienza said at the Sunday morning briefing.
Early estimates suggest more than 100 people were in the vicinity of the park when the shots were fired. Detectives were still working the scene when reports came in of a second shooting less than a mile away.
