CANARSIE, Brooklyn (WABC) -- A search is underway for three people after a woman was grazed in the left arm during a shooting in Brooklyn on Monday.
The shooting happened around 1:10 p.m. at 1660 Ralph Ave. in the Canarsie section right near the Glenwood Houses and the Glenwood Playground.
Police say the victim, a 52-year-old woman, was grazed in the left arm, and was taken to Brookdale Hospital where she is expected to survive.
