Search underway for gunman who wounded 3 men in Queens
LAURELTON, Queens (WABC) -- A manhunt is underway after a gunman shot three men in Queens overnight. The shooting happened in Laurelton just after 1:00 a.m.
Investigators canvassed the area on 220th Street, for any clues into what happened in the moments leading up to the shooting incident and the identity of the gunman. Police do not have a description of the suspect.
A 33-year-old man was shot in the torso and a 24-year-old man was shot in the neck. Both of them are in stable condition. Another 24-year-old man was also shot in the torso and remains in critical condition Sunday morning.
According to police sources, at least one of the victims is a DJ who was hired to provide entertainment at a party. The victim told officers they were loading their equipment in a van after the party when the suspect shot at them.
One resident told Eyewitness News they're concerned about their safety.
"The last three years there's a lot of violence. It wasn't like this before. Violence still happens in New York, but I think the crime rate is just going high, high, and higher. So we really need to change something," he said.
In the 105th precinct, there have been 10 shooting incidents compared to 6 last year.
