Two men were shot between Wednesday night and Thursday morning in the Bronx and Brooklyn, and a Staten Island woman died more than a week after taking a bullet to the head, police reported.
The first shooting was reported at about 9:35 p.m. on Nov. 25, when a 22-year-old man walked into Brookdale University Hospital in Brooklyn with a gunshot wound. He’s expected to make a recovery.
Law enforcement sources said the victim was “highly uncooperative” with detectives, who were able to ascertain that he had been shot in front of 684 East 98th St. in Canarsie, about two blocks south of the hospital.
No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing.
