A pair of Brooklyn shootings seven minutes and two blocks apart left two men dead and a third clinging to life, police said Monday.
The explosion of violence began with a man shot in the chest near Flushing Ave. and Steuben St. in Clinton Hill at 10:51 p.m. Sunday.
Medics rushed the victim, believed to be in his 30s, to New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital but he couldn’t be saved.
The victim wasn’t carrying ID and cops were working to identify him Monday.
Seven minutes later, cops were called to a migrant shelter opened earlier this year on Ryerson St. near Park Ave., just a couple blocks from the first shooting. First responders found a 21-year-old man with gunshot wounds all over his body and a 59-year-old man blasted in the head outside the shelter.
Medics rushed the younger victim to Bellevue Hospital, but he couldn’t be saved. His name was not immediately released.
The older man was taken to New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in critical condition.
Cops have not yet determined if the two shootings are linked.
