Six people were shot citywide including a 37-year-old woman left in critical condition in Staten Island, police said.
The shootings come after a one-day hiatus as bad weather kept most people off the streets Sunday night.
The first shooting of the day occurred at 3:30 p.m. on the busy Grand Concourse and East 170th Street in Mt. Eden, the Bronx, when an unidentified man began firing on the crowded street, hitting a 22-year-old man in the stomach and shoulder, sending him tumbling down a subway stairway. Two others, a 23-year-old man walking south on the Concourse was hit in the arm, right and left legs and a 16-year-old exiting a gym was struck in the left leg.
Police from the 44th Precinct found the three injured young men wounded and the 23-year-0ld was taken to Lincoln Hospital in stable condition. The 16 and 22-year-old were taken to St. Barnabas Hospital in stable condition – though the older of the two was in surgery last night to remove the bullet from his stomach.

The 22-year-old was said to have an extensive arrest history and may have been the target of the gunman. Police from the 44th Precinct say they believe the other two victims were hit in the crossfire.
In the same area of the Bronx at 6:15 p.m., a 24-year-old man walking on Carrol Street and East 166th Street was struck in the ankle by a bullet fired by several young men at firing a gun.
Police from the 44th Precinct rushed to the scene after a ShotSpotter activation, but the victim had already gone to Lincoln Hospital on his own. Detectives say the victim told them he heard shots and felt pain and didn’t see who fired the shots.
