Police sources said the victim has proven to be uncooperative with detectives at this point in the ongoing investigation.
At around the same time as the Brooklyn shooting, cops said, a 20-year-old man walked into Elmhurst Hospital’s emergency room in Queens with a bullet wound to his mouth, cops said.
Officers from the 110th Precinct were called to the hospital at about 7:35 p.m. Saturday night, not long after the wounded man arrived there via private means. He remains hospitalized at this hour in stable condition.
Detectives have not yet determined the motive behind the shooting, or where the victim was originally wounded.
