NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A 70-year-old woman was shot while standing on a Brooklyn street corner on Monday afternoon, according to police and a city council member.
Police said gunfire rang out Brooklyn Avenue and Fulton Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant around 2 p.m.
New York City Council Member Chi Ossé tweeted that the victim who was hospitalized with a non-life-threatening injury was nearby his office when she was shot and was not the "intended target."
"The people of this community are constantly traumatized by this unnecessary violence. Our prayers are with this senior and her recovery," he added.
No other immediate details were released at this time.
