The Brooklyn shooting happened at 9:08 p.m. on Oct. 11 at the corner of Ralph and Sutter Avenues in Brownsville.
Law enforcement sources said two men were involved in a dispute with an unknown individual, who then opened fire on them. One of the victims, a 38-year-old man, took a bullet to his left foot, while a 25-year-old man was shot in the lower right calf and grazed in the head.
Officers from the 73rd Precinct responded to the shooting. Both men were rushed by EMS to Brookdale Hospital in stable condition.
Investigators say the men have been “uncooperative,” and have provided few details.

Officers from the 32nd Precinct found the man shot in the right leg at the scene and he was removed by EMS to Harlem Hospital in stable condition.
