The gunman who allegedly shot a 17-year-old boy near his Upper West Side high school — sparking a burst of gun violence in possible retaliation — has been charged with attempted murder, cops said Wednesday.
Cheick Coulibaly, 19, was busted a short time after the shooting that erupted around 9:50 a.m. Tuesday at the corner of Amsterdam Avenue and West 68th Street, police said.
Coulibaly — who was out on bail in a 2021 armed robbery case — allegedly shot the young victim several times in the torso, cops said. The teen had to undergo surgery but was expected to survive.
The bloodshed stemmed from a dispute that began two blocks north, involving four or five teenage boys, authorities said.
After being shot, the victim staggered to his school, the Maxine Greene High School for Imaginative Inquiry, police said. That school, in addition to nearby LaGuardia High School of Music, was placed on lockdown after the shooting.
