NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) – An argument between two couples outside an Upper East Side bar early Wednesday ended in a burst of gunfire, with a man shot in the leg and a woman hit by flying glass, police said.
The argument erupted around 2:45 a.m. outside a bar at 1450 Second Ave., near East 76th Street.
The two victims—a 32-year-old man and 29-year-old woman—were arguing with another man and woman, believed to be in their 30s, when the man in the latter couple pulled a gun and fired seven shots, police said.
At least one bullet struck the 32-year-old man in his left leg. Bullets also struck a car and shattered its windows, sending glass at the 29-year-old woman, who suffered lacerations, according to cops.
The man was rushed to Weill Cornell Medicine, where he was listed in stable condition.
The couple with the gun fled on Second Avenue and was still being sought Wednesday.
Police said detectives recovered seven shell casings on the ground.
