Two men were shot at a Brooklyn public housing complex on Sunday night, and one of the victims is clinging to life at a local hospital, it was reported.
Law enforcement sources said the gun violence erupted just after 9:30 p.m. on July 13 outside of the Kingsborough Houses located at 253 Kingsborough 2nd Walk in Weeksville.
Officers from the 77th Precinct initially responded there to a report of an assault in progress, but upon arrival, discovered one gunshot victim in serious condition.
The 22-year-old man, police sources said, was found lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to the head. EMS rushed him to Kings County Hospital, where he remains in intensive care on Monday morning.
While police began their investigation, they learned that a second shooting victim, a 40-year-old man, made his own way to Interfaith Medical Center after he suffered a gunshot wound to his right leg at the same location. He was listed at the hospital in stable condition.
At the time of publication, police did not provide a motive for the gun violence or a description of the shooter. No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing.
