Here are the top stories today in Brooklyn:

1. A shooting in Brooklyn early on Monday morning left a victim with a bullet wound in his arm. At approximately 12:56 a.m. at the corner of East 94th Street and Avenue L in Canarsie, the 32-year-old man was shot in his left arm and transported to a local hospital in stable condition. No arrests have yet been made in the ongoing investigation. (AMNY)
