2 shot on elevated subway platform in Brooklyn
SHEEPSHEAD BAY, Brooklyn (WABC) -- Police are searching for two suspects connected to a double shooting in Brooklyn.
It happened around 3:30 p.m. Saturday in Sheepshead Bay at the intersection of Avenue U and East 15th Street near the Q train station.
An 18-year-old man was grazed in the stomach and a 21-year-old man was shot in the leg
Security cameras from across the street show people running in a panic down the steps from the Q train platform and out through an emergency gate on Avenue U. One of the people running appears to be one of the victims who had just been shot.
The victim then ran down the block and sat down on the ground where police tended to him. Both victims were taken to the hospital in stable condition.
One of the Q trains has been taken out of commission while police investigate. It is unclear whether the shooting happened on the train itself or on the elevated platform, but police sources at the scene of the crime say it all went down upstairs in the vicinity of the elevated platform near the train.
Both victims were taken to the hospital in stable condition.
Police are looking for a man and a woman who fled on the Q train.
