A man was wounded in the Big Apple’s only shooting Wednesday — a drive-by in Brooklyn — with no additional gun violence so far Thursday, according to preliminary information released by police.
A 36-year-old man was struck in the leg when someone fired rounds from a light-colored four-door sedan on Clarendon Road near Albany Avenue in East Flatbush around 9 p.m., authorities said.
The victim was taken to the Kings County Hospital Center with non-life-threatening injuries, and no arrests have been made.
No shootings were reported on Wednesday’s date in 2019, which was a Monday.
Wednesday saw the fewest number of shootings so far this week — four people were shot in as many incidents on Sunday, six people in four incidents on Monday, and four people in three incidents on Tuesday.
Overall this year, the city has seen a significant surge in shootings.
From the start of the year through Wednesday, 1,677 people had been shot in 1,366 incidents, police said — nearly doubling last year’s total during that period.
