Two young people injured in a Brooklyn double shooting early on Monday morning are now fighting for their lives in a local hospital, police sources said.
Law enforcement sources said the male and female victims, both 19, were ambushed by an unknown gunman as they sat in a vehicle near 2430 Coney Island Ave. in Homecrest at about 12:15 a.m. on Dec. 19.
According to police, the gunman walked up to the vehicle and fired multiple shots, striking both victims in the chest. Police sources said a third individual in the vehicle, a 23-year-old man behind the wheel, managed to avoid injury. Authorities said the driver sped away from the scene and drove about a mile and a half away to a location on Hubbard Street off Avenue Y in Gravesend. That’s where the driver called 911 for assistance.
