A Brooklyn shooting victim is recovering at a local hospital as detectives search for the gunman who pulled the trigger on him Tuesday afternoon.
Law enforcement sources said the gun violence erupted at around 3:15 p.m. on Aug. 6 outside 738 Stanley Ave. in East New York, where a gunman opened fire and shot a 27-year-old man, striking him in the shoulder and abdomen.
Officers from PSA 2 and the 75th Precinct rushed to the location after receiving a 911 call about the incident. Meanwhile, EMS rushed the victim to Brookdale Hospital in serious but stable condition.
Police found multiple shell casings from the scene.
