Woman shot through window of Brooklyn home by gunman firing 11 times
A woman was shot through the window of her Brooklyn home Tuesday morning by a gunman who fired 11 times from the street, police said.
The 29-year-old victim was grazed in the left arm and right leg by a 9mm bullet that pierced the first-floor floor window of her three-story brick rowhouse on E. 102nd St. near Flatlands Ave. in Canarsie about 7:10 a.m., cops said.
Two other bullets hits a third-floor window and five others hit a second-floor window.
Medics took the woman to Kings County Hospital, where she is expected to recover.
Neighbor Eric Reyes, who saw the woman outside the building with her leg covered in a towel, said she was bleeding and crying.
“She just needed help,” Reyes said.
The gunman, clad in a black jacket and red hoodie, ran off and is being sought.
Neighbor Rodlyn Daniels said the shots came in rapid succession — “Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam,” he said.
It wasn’t clear who the gunman was after inside the home but police noted the victim has no arrest record.
Levi Bennett, 75, who lives across the street and survived a stray bullet shooting in 1999, said the neighborhood isn’t particularly dangerous but noted that “in Brooklyn or anywhere om New York, anywhere in America, you can get the same thing.”
