One killed, 10 injured in two overnight shootings in New York City

Two separate shootings leave one killed and ten injured in Brooklyn.

One man was killed and ten other people were injured as a result of two overnight separate shootings in Brooklyn, the New York Police Department has confirmed.

In the first shooting that took place around 1 a.m. on Sunday, a gunman opened fire on three people inside a playground, killing a 20-year-old man and injuring two other people.

The second shooting took place only an hour later in a different Brooklyn neighborhood, where nine people were shot in the backyard of a house in East New York.

A 19-year-old woman who was shot in the neck and one leg and a 24-year-old man who was also hit in the neck have sustained the most critical injuries.

Other victims, including two men and five women, were all shot non-fatally, according to the police.

Four more people were hospitalized with cuts and bruises as a result of the brutal altercation.

The reason behind the shootings was not known to the police and none of the gunmen were arrested.

The violence comes after a period of relative calm in Brooklyn, where police had tried to bring about more security by deploying more patrols to curb a wave of gun violence that swiped the area not long ago.
