Two of those shot — the ex-girlfriend, 24-year-old Jened Duncan and the gunman, 30-year-old Darnell Solomon — died after being rushed to Kings County Hospital, according to police.


The second man — the woman's 33-year-old current boyfriend — was shot in the chest and was in stable condition at Brookdale Hospital, police said.
