Overnight Gun Violence: 3 Men Shot In Queens, Innocent Woman Shot In Brooklyn, NYPD Says
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- There was more gun violence late Saturday night into Sunday morning in parts of the five boroughs.
According to police, three men were struck by bullets in Queens and an innocent woman was shot multiple times in Brooklyn, CBS2's Christina Fan reported Sunday.
The three men, all in their 30s, were shot just after 1:30 a.m. near a Mobil gas station on Beach Channel Drive in Far Rockaway, police said.
A 35-year-old is in critical condition after he was shot in the chest. The other victims, 36 and 32, are expected to recover.
Police have not arrested the gunman.
Around midnight, a 25-year-old woman, who police suspect was an innocent bystander, was shot outside an event center on Atlantic Avenue in East New York where a baby shower was taking place, CBS2's Thalia Perez reported.
The celebration inside Kings Studio at 2529 Atlantic Ave. was cut short when the gunfire erupted.
The owner of the venue told CBS2 that a guest of the mother-to-be was shot.
Police said the victim suffered two gun shot wounds to the torso, one to the wrist and one to her leg. Neighbors on the block said when they came home Saturday night, the street was shut down and they were stunned to find out what had happened.
"That's insane. I would of never expected something so crazy to happen," one person said.
Police said the victim may of been caught in the crossfire between two gunmen and they don't believe she was the intended target.
"This is the world we live in right now, so it's sad," Daniel Doumbia said.
Officials said the victim is recovering at Brookdale Hospital in critical but stable condition.
