They were both taken to Brookdale Hospital in stable condition.

Several people were taken in for questioning, but no charges were dropped, the NYPD said.

The shooting was just one of several that lit up the Big Apple Saturday, including an unrelated one just down the block from Livonia Park.

A 17-year-old boy shot himself in the left leg around 4:40 p.m. at an address outside of Nehemiah Park, according to police. He is in stable condition, but the NYPD couldn’t say whether it was accidental.

At the same time, a 43-year-old man was also shot in the left leg at Bronx River Avenue and East 172nd Street in the Soundview neighborhood of the Bronx.
