NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – At least 8 people were wounded in shootings across the city Thursday night into early Friday, police said.
There were at least four shootings in Brooklyn, one in the Bronx and another on Staten Island.
The shootings in Brooklyn included two in Bedford-Stuyvesant, one in Boerum Hill and another in East New York.
In one Bedford-Stuyvesant shooting, a man walked into Mr. Liquor on Fulton Street around 8:30 p.m. and opened fire, police said. A 29-year-old man and a 52-year-old man were both shot in the leg. Both were hospitalized in stable condition; the 29-year-old was at Kings County Hospital and the 52-year-old was at Interfaith Medical Center.
In the Bronx around 4:15 a.m., a 42-year-old man was shot in the leg during an attempted armed robbery near 183rd Street and Davidson Avenue in University Heights. He was in stable condition at St. Barnabas Hospital.
Someone was also shot on Stanley Avenue in East New York, Brooklyn around 11:30 p.m. The condition of the victim wasn't immediately known.
Two more shootings were reported on Stanley Avenue in East New York, Brooklyn at 11:30 p.m. and on Windham Loop in New Springville, Staten Island around 12:30 a.m. The conditions of those two victims weren't immediately known.
The shootings come amid a wave of gun violence in the city. On Friday, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a new "End Gun Violence Plan" that would put police resources wherever they're needed, while focusing on areas "where we're seeing an uptick in violence."
NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said the biggest upticks have been in parts of the Bronx and Brooklyn but that other areas, such as Harlem and South Jamaica, had also seen spikes. He said a lot of the violence was "very much localized in certain neighborhoods and even certain blocks."
