Five people were shot on the boardwalk in Coney Island, Brooklyn, early Sunday, July 10.
Among the shots is a 31-year-old man who is in critical condition after being shot in the back, police said.
The victims were among eight people shot dead in the early morning hours in the city, including a woman who appeared to be an innocent bystander, police said.
The bullets flew to the Boardwalk and West 21st Street, where a “large group” of people gathered around 2 a.m., a police spokeswoman said.
Two women — a 27-year-old and a 26-year-old — were both shot in the left leg and taken to Lutheran Hospital. A 36-year-old man was shot in the chin and taken to the same hospital in stable condition.
A 31-year-old man was shot in the back and a 19-year-old man was shot in the leg. They both made their own way to NYU Langone Hospital, where the elderly man was in critical condition.
More than two dozen bullets were found at the scene.
Meanwhile, a 31-year-old woman was shot in the arm around 3:26 a.m. while walking on a Brooklyn street, police said.
The woman was walking on Emmons Avenue and Nostrand Avenue when a bullet struck her.
“Looks like she ran and got hit,” said a police source, adding that the woman appeared to be an unintended target.
Two more men were shot at around 2 a.m. during a dispute outside a nightclub in Bronx
A 21-year-old man was shot in the hip and a 26-year-old was shot in the stomach at Last Stop Bar & Grill on White Plains Road, police said. Both went to hospital in stable condition.
Two suspects fled on foot. It is unclear what the argument was about, police said.
