A 15-year-old boy and two other people were shot and wounded in a pair of separate Brooklyn shootings Tuesday night that included a masked gunman who opened fire inside a deli, according to cops and law enforcement sources.
The teen was struck in the left ankle when gunfire erupted along Chauncey Street in the Stuyvesant Heights neighborhood around 7 p.m., cops and sources said.
He was taken to a Maimonides Medical Center in stable condition, authorities said.
Investigators were later notified a woman, 32, walked into the same hospital after suffering a graze wound to the right chest from the shooting, police said. She was also listed in stable condition.
Authorities believe based on preliminary information the teen was targeted while the woman was an innocent bystander, sources said.
No arrests have been made.
More than two hours later, a 28-year-old man was shot and wounded when a gunman pulled the trigger inside a deli at 1742 Pitkin Avenue in Brownsville around 9:20 p.m., according to police and sources.
The victim sustained a gunshot wound to the foot and was taken to Brookdale Hospital in stable condition, the NYPD said.
Authorities are looking for a man who was wearing an orange winter jacket with a fur-trimmed hood, light blue jeans, and black facemask, cops said.
It was not immediately known if that shooting was targeted.
