"Officers from the 73rd Precinct and Police Service Area 2 responded to both a 911 call about shots fired and a ShotSpotter activation at the location. ShotSpotter is the NYPD's network of sensors designed to pick up sounds of possible gunfire and evoke a rapid response. Upon arriving at the scene, cops found a 20-year-old man shot in the stomach, and a 22-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds to both legs."
"A lone gunman was spotted fleeing the scene in an unknown direction after the shots rang out, police sources said. Brownsville has seen numerous shootings in recent years, but so far this year, the 73rd Precinct has reported 29 shootings year-to-date through Nov. 30, down 34.1% from the 44 reported at the same point last year. This is a never-ending and unfortunate situation that the community can't tackle alone. We need resources, the resident said."
