At Least 3 Shot Dead In Bloody NYC Weekend: Cops

NEW YORK CITY — A bloody weekend in New York City ended with at least three people shot dead and five more riddled with bullets, police said.

Three fatal shootings that unfolded in less than 24 hours Saturday remain under investigation, with no arrests yet confirmed by NYPD officials.

The violence reached a crescendo late Saturday along a Bronx street where four people were shot, authorities said. One man, 33, died in that incident after he was shot in the stomach, police said.

But it was at a nightclub hours earlier and a borough away where the first shooting death unfolded.

A fight sparked inside the Amadeus Nightclub in Elmhurst, police said.

At some point about 4 a.m., it moved outside to Albion Avenue, where an as-yet-unidentified shooter pulled out a gun and opened fire, authorities said.

Cops arrived to find a 19-year-old man with gunshot wounds to his back and shoulder, police said. Medics rushed him to Elmhurst Hospital, but doctors pronounced him dead, authorities said.

A woman, 31, also suffered a gunshot wound to her buttocks during the shooting, police said. She remains in stable condition.

The second fatal shooting unfolded in Brooklyn about 9:15 p.m. along 46th Street, near Avenue K, police said.

Two men were shot near a home and both had been driven to Mount Sinai Brooklyn hospital by what police called "private means," authorities said.

One of the pair — a 30-year-old man — suffered a fatal wound to his chest, police said. The second man, 28, had a gunshot to his right shoulder and remains in stable condition, authorities said.

The final shooting unfolded about 10:30 p.m. along Morris Avenue, near Watson Avenue, in The Bronx, police said.

Police responded to a 911 call to find two men, ages 29 and 33, with gunshot wounds, authorities said. The older man suffered a gunshot to the stomach and was pronounced dead at Lincoln hospital, police said.

The 28-year-old man remained in stable condition at the same hospital with a gunshot to his left arm, authorities said.

During the investigation, police discovered two more people were wounded in the same shooting, authorities said.

Cops found a man, 30, near Sherman Avenue and East 167th Street with a gunshot wound to his lower back, police said. Medics took him to the hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, authorities said.

The fourth victim — a 24-year-old man — was driven to the hospital by "private means," police said. He too was in stable condition.
