A shooting near Manhattan's historic Stonewall Inn hours after New York City's Pride March on Sunday night has left two people hospitalized with injuries, per the NYPD.

The big picture: One person was in critical condition after sustaining a gunshot wound to the head and the other was shot in the leg in the incident in Greenwich Village, said New York City Police Department Sgt. Matt Evans in a brief phone interview.

Zoom in: There were no immediate arrests over the shooting that happened about 10:15pm and "the investigation remains active," Evans said.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams wrote on X that the NYPD would work "quickly and tirelessly to bring the suspects to justice" and he's "praying for the speedy recovery" of the shooting victims.
"Saddened to learn about the shooting by the Stonewall Inn tonight as Pride celebrations were winding down," he said.
"During a time when our city should be rejoicing and celebrating members of our diverse LGBTQ+ community, incidents like this are devastating."

Zoom out: Pride Month is held every June to commemorate the Stonewall Uprising, a series of spontaneous protests by LGBTQ+ community members against a police raid that took place at the nightclub, which is considered the start of the modern LGBTQ+ civil rights movement.
