Woman critically hurt, man wounded in separate NYC shootings overnight
A woman was critically hurt and a man injured in a pair of unrelated shootings in Brooklyn early Saturday, police said.
The 37-year unidentified woman was shot in the back at the corner of Marion Street and Rockaway Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant shortly before 4:30 a.m., cops said.
EMS rushed her to Brookdale Hospital in critical condition, and cops are looking for one or two men who might have fled the scene in a black sedan, according to the NYPD.
It’s unclear what sparked the gunfire, authorities said.
Less than an hour later, a man walked into Kings County Hospital and with a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
The victim, 39, who said he was shot at the corner of Utica and Snyder avenues in East Flatbush, was in stable condition, police said.
Anyone with information in regard to these incidents is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
