Red Hook Shooting Leaves 2 Teen Girls in Critical Condition: NYPD

The NYPD says five young people were injured — two of them critically — in a shooting in Brooklyn on Monday night at 9A Dwight Street, near Delavan Street, in the Red Hook neighborhood.

The victims were targeted by an unidentified gunman around 10:50 p.m., says a police spokesperson.

The suspect pulled up to 9A Dwight in a southbound SUV of an ”older model,” police say, when ”one of the males began shooting into the crowd of people gathered at the location.”

The NYPD lists the following victims:

• A 19-year-old female shot multiple times in the torso, buttocks and wrist. Now in critical condition at Lutheran Medical Center in Sunset Park.
  
• A 20-year-old male shot multiple times in the torso and legs. Now in stable condition at Lutheran Medical Center in Sunset Park.
• A 19-year-old female shot multiple times in the leg, buttocks and neck. Now in critical condition at Lutheran Medical Center in Sunset Park.
• A 20-year-old male shot multiple times in the leg. Now in stable condition at Lutheran Medical Center in Sunset Park.
• A 22-year-old female shot once in the leg. Now in stable condition at Methodist Hospital in Park Slope.
  

The New York Daily News reports that the first victim in critical condition — the 19-year-old girl with bullet wounds in her torso, buttocks and wrist — was pregnant when she was shot, and lost her unborn baby. The paper reports she’s now ”clinging to life.”

On the night of the shooting, police sources told Patch that at least one possible suspect had been identified based on witness testimony at the crime scene.

However, on Tuesday morning, an NYPD spokesperson says: ”There have been no arrests at this time. The investigation is ongoing.”

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams dragged an empty casket up the steps of Brooklyn Borough Hall the day before and called for an end to gun violence in Brooklyn. “Our children deserve to live; our adults deserve to live,” he told a crowd of residents and reporters that had gathered. “All lives matter.”

Three people were killed and approximately 20 were injured in a spree of shootings throughout the borough over the weekend prior. Early Sunday morning, two shooters were caught on tape firing indiscriminately into a backyard house party in East New York, injuring 13.
