A 23-year-old man hit in the right arm and a 22-year-old woman struck in the left leg were taken to Jamaica Hospital in stable condition.

The gunman got away, possibly in a white sedan.

Police recovered about a dozen 9-mm. shell casings, but said it wasn’t yet clear whom the gunman was aiming for or what sparked the shooting.
