CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn (WABC) -- The search is on for a gunman after a man and woman were shot at a luxury rental building in Crown Heights on Monday morning.

It happened just after 8 a.m. on President Street by Rogers Avenue in the Arch building, which is described as a 16-story residential apartment complex with amenities, according to the building's rental site.

Police say a 26-year-old woman was shot in the foot and 30-year-old man was shot in the foot and the eye - both were taken to Kings County Hospital where they are stable.

It's not clear what led to the shooting, though residents say there normally is a doorman on duty, and they generally feel very safe -- but they didn't get any alert from management either about what happened.

"I went to the second floor and there were two cops and the entire hallways was blocked but I didn't know what was going on... I normally feel safe, I don't feel any danger around my neighborhood but I'm quite shocked at this incident," said resident Lucia Chen.

The shooter, described as a 28-year-old man wearing a yellow sweatshirt, ran away from the scene.

No arrests have been made and police believe the shooting could be the result of a love triangle. Investigators are looking for the ex-boyfriend.
