before 12 p.m. Monday.
Police
say the victim was shot once in the right hip and was rushed to NYC Health +
Hospitals/Jacobi. He is expected to survive.
Two
men were seen fleeing the area in ski masks on a motorized scooter. Police are
still not able to confirm if this was a targeted incident.
Part

members were concerned about the shooting taking place in the middle of
the day.
