The incidents occurred on the streets of Brooklyn and Queens in a nearly 30-minute span on Saturday morning, according to NYPD Det. Joseph Kenny.
The first incident occurred at 11:10 a.m. in Brooklyn, when a 21-year-old man was shot in the left shoulder, Kenny said. Video from the scene showed a man approach the victim from behind on a scooter, raise his hand and fire one time, Kenny said. The victim was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, he said.
"The perpetrator was described as a male on a scooter firing at a nail salon on Jamaica Avenue," Kenny told reporters during a briefing."Numerous witnesses described the male on a scooter randomly firing at a group of people that were standing on the corner of 108th Street and Jamaica Avenue," Kenny said.
