Police are searching for two men in connection with a shooting that locked down part of Claremont on Tuesday night.
Investigators say a bullet grazed the neck of a 35-year-old man near Morris Avenue and East 174th Street. It happened around 7 p.m. The man is recovering at the hospital, according to police.
The shooting sent a heavy police response to the area, with intersections roped off by yellow tape as detectives searched for evidence. At least six shell casings could be seen marked by evidence cones along the block.
Police were also seen focusing part of their investigation on a deli at the corner, where detectives examined the area and looked for surveillance video that may have captured the shooting.
No arrests have been made.
