2 men hospitalized following bloody Brooklyn shooting
Two men were hospitalized early Saturday following a shooting at a Brooklyn intersection, according to police.
Cops responding to a 911 call of shots fired near the corner of E. 95th St. and Lenox Road in East Flatbush found a 19-year-old man shot in the stomach and a 20-year-old suffering a graze wound to his left leg.
EMS took both men to Brookdale University Hospital, where they were expected to survive.
Neither victim would tell police what happened, officials said.
Cops were scouring the area looking for any surveillance footage that could help them identify the shooter.
On Thursday night, about 2 miles away, two men were shot, one fatally, when a gunman opened fire on a group of people on E. 94th St. near Ave. L in Canarsie.
Surveillance footage recovered by the Daily News shows the unidentified suspect in a black hoodie and blue medical gloves casually approach, pull a handgun tucked into his rear waistband and open fire, letting loose about eight shots.
Victim Mitch Innocent, 21, died from a gunshot wound to the head, cops said. Innocent lived in Elmont, Long Island. The second victim is expected to survive.
The gunman in Thursday's shooting remained at large Saturday. Police did not immediately connect the two shootings.
Despite the back to back incidents, shootings in Patrol Borough Brooklyn South, where both acts of violence took place, were down by 10% as of June 22, from 47 this time last year to 42, cops said.
