Four people – including three women who may have been innocent bystanders – were hurt in a shooting outside a Bronx restaurant early Thursday, cops said.
The gunfire erupted around 2:15 a.m. in front of the Isla Cafe on Westchester Avenue near Leland Avenue in Soundview, authorities said.
A 37-year-old woman was shot in the left leg, a 30-year-old woman grazed in the shoulder and a 44-year-old woman struck in the head, police said.
All three were taken to Jacobi Medical Center, where they were listed in stable condition.
Later, a 28-year-old man walked into Lincoln Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the leg. He, too, was listed in stable condition.
The women did not appear to have been targeted in the shooting, according to authorities, who were unable to confirm whether the male victim was the intended target.
A witness reported that a black SUV fled the location, cops said. No arrests have been made.
The gun violence comes hours after two men were shot in Brooklyn, cops said.
A 29-year-old man was blasted in the stomach on Crescent Street near McKinley Avenue in Cypress Hills just before 10 p.m. Wednesday, authorities said.
He was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition.
Another man, whose age is not known, was grazed in the right arm while inside the nearby BFV Deli Grocery at 390 Crescent Street, authorities said.
He was listed in stable condition, though it’s unclear whether he was taken to the hospital.
The motives for both shootings were under investigation Thursday morning.
