Five people were shot on the boardwalk in Coney Island early Sunday, including a 31-year-old man who was in critical condition after being shot in the back, cops said.
The victims were among eight people shot in the city in the early morning hours, including a woman who appeared to be an innocent bystander, cops said.
The bullets flew toward the boardwalk and West 21st Street, where a “large group” of people had gathered around 2 a.m., a police spokesman said.
Two women – a 27-year-old and a 26-year-old – were shot in the left leg and taken to Lutheran Hospital. A 36-year-old man was shot in the chin and taken to the same hospital in stable condition.
A 31-year-old man was shot in the back and a 19-year-old man was shot in the leg. Both took personal belongings to NYU Langone Hospital, where the older man was listed in critical condition.
