Brooklyn detectives are looking for the suspects who pulled the trigger on a group of men and wounded them in a Saturday night shooting.

According to police sources, the bullets flew at the corner of Avenue D and Utica Avenue in East Flatbush at about 10:19 p.m. on April 19.

Officers from the 67th Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about the gun violence, found three wounded men at the location: a 34-year-old man shot in the left ankle; a 29-year-old man who took a bullet to his right calf; and a 51-year-old man shot in the right ankle.

The older shooting victim sought treatment via private means, while EMS rushed the two other shooting victims to Kings County Hospital. All are expected to make a recovery.

Police recovered a firearm at the scene. While cops did not provide a description of a perpetrator or a motive for the violence, eyewitnesses told police that they spotted a large group of motorcyclists riding away soon after the shooting.

No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing.
