A gunman wounded four
people in a bloody Sunset Park
shooting on Thursday night,
according to authorities.
Police rushed to the scene
near 62nd Street and Third Avenue
shortly after 8 pm, when
they discovered four victims
— a 42-year-old man who was
shot in the arm, a 37-year-old
man who was hit in the leg, a
24-year-old man with a bullet
wound in the abdomen, and a
24-year-old woman who suffered
a gunshot to the leg.
Authorities do not know
what led to the shooting, according
to a Police Department
spokesperson.
First responders took the
three male victims to NYU
Langone, and the woman to
Maimonides Hospital. All victims
are expected to survive,
according to authorities.
The shootings — which
took place just two days into
the New Year — contrast a
historic drop in violent crime
last year, according to District
Attorney Eric Gonzalez.
“Thanks to the NYPD and
to my hard-working prosecutors,
violent crime keeps going
down in Brooklyn,” said
the borough’s top cop.
Throughout 2019, shootings
declined by 6.8-percent
across the borough — from
311 to 290 — compared to an
almost three-percent increase
in all five boroughs.
Not counting crimes that
were reclassified as murders
in 2019 — which include incidents
that occurred in previous
years, but were deemed as
homicides in 2019 — the borough
saw 90 killings last year,
the lowest number in Brooklyn’s
history.
No arrests have been yet
made in connection with
Thursday’s shooting, according
to auhtorities.
Anyone with information
in regard to this incident is
asked to call the NYPD’s
Crime Stoppers Hotline at
1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or
for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA
(74782). The public can also
submit their tips by logging
onto the Crime Stoppers
website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.
