NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – Two men were killed in Brooklyn and over a dozen people were reportedly wounded in shootings across the city Friday evening into Saturday morning after a week of deadly gun violence.
The first deadly shooting happened Friday evening, when a 27-year-old man was killed and a 17-year-old boy was wounded in East New York around 4:10 p.m.
No arrests have been made in the case.
Then around 3:30 a.m. Saturday in the Bronx, shots rang out near East Mount Eden Avenue and Monroe Avenue by Claremont Park.
Four people—three women and a man—were wounded in the shooting, police said.
A 26-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman were both shot in the foot. A 21-year-old woman was grazed on the back by a bullet. And a 19-year-old woman was grazed on the foot.
All of the victims are expected to survive in that shooting. No arrests have been made.
Four other people were shot and wounded by a suspect a mile or so away from Claremont Park around 5 a.m., according to the New York Post. The victims included two men in their 20s, as well as two women, including a 16-year-old girl. They all had non-life-threatening injuries.
And around 11 a.m. Saturday in East New York, a 35-year-old man died after he was found shot near Milford Street and Blake Avenue.
Police said the man had a gunshot wound to his neck and was rushed to Brookdale Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. There have been no arrests in that case.
The Post reports there were at least 10 other people injured in shootings in every borough except Staten Island between 9 p.m. Friday and 7 a.m. Saturday.
The shootings come amid a violent week in New York City, when 28 incidents and 38 victims were reported between Monday and Friday, according to the New York Post. There were reportedly only 12 shootings during the same week last year.
At least five people died in the shootings Monday to Friday, including a 34-year-old man in the Bronx on Monday and a 35-year-old man in Brooklyn on Wednesday.
