A senior woman was shot and wounded after being caught in a hail of bullets fired on a Brooklyn corner on Sunday morning, police reported.
According to police sources, the brazen daylight shooting unfolded just after 10 a.m. on July 13 near the corner of Foster and New York Avenues in Flatbush.
Officers from the 67th Precinct rushed to the shooting scene, just outside of the Flatbush Gardens apartment complex. There, they found the victim, a 65-year-old woman, with a gunshot wound to her hip area.
EMS rushed her to Kings County Hospital, where she is being treated for her injury and is expected to survive.
While police say they are still looking into a motive for the shooting, they do not believe the senior was the intended target. Detectives could be seen probing the incident and poring over at least six spent shell casings spotted on the ground.
The shooting itself engaged locals, including one man who was on his way to church.
“I can’t believe these motherf**kers are shooting at each other on the day you are supposed to be praising the Lord,” he scoffed.
NYPD sources report that the gunman was seen wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt while fleeing in a black vehicle spotted heading eastbound on Foster Avenue.
No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing.
