Three men and one woman were shot in St. John's Park in Crown Heights last night, according to police.
The NYPD says that they were alerted to a report of someone being shot in the Prospect Place Park at around 8:10 p.m. yesterday. When they arrived at the scene, they found four victims. A 31 to 32-year-old male, had suffered a gunshot wound in his right ankle, and another, a 31-year-old male, had been shot in his chest, leg and arm. Both were transported to Kings County Hospital, the former in stable condition and the latter in critical condition, according to authorities.
Police say another victim, a 33-year-old male, sustained a gunshot wound to his left forearm. And another, a 54-year-old woman, suffered a gunshot wound to her right leg. Both victims were transported to Interfaith Hospital in stable condition.
No arrests have been made at this time, and the investigation is ongoing. The shootings take place just one day after 37-year-old Todd Wilks was found shot to death on Albany Avenue, just a few blocks from St. John's Park.
