CONCOURSE — Six people, one as young as 14, were shot at a party in Franz Sigel Park shortly after midnight Monday morning, police said.

The revelers were part of a late-night party in the park near Grand Concourse and East 153rd Street when someone opened fire about midnight, an NYPD spokesman said.

Two people — a 19-year-old girl who was hit in the right thigh and a 17-year-old boy who was hit in the right knee — were taken to Lincoln Medical Center, police said.

Three others brought themselves to the same hospital, including the 14-year-old who was hit in his left foot, a 16-year-old boy who was hit in his right leg and a 20-year-old man who was shot in his left calf, police said.

A 16-year-old boy also brought himself to Bronx-Lebanon Hospital to get treated for a gunshot to his right arm, police said.

Their injuries were not considered life-threatening, police said.

There were no immediate arrests, police said.
