Gunfire in DUMBO’s Wild Wild East

Gunfire ripped through a gentrifying corner of DUMBO last week, injuring two men in separate shootings just a few hours apart.

In the first incident, a man told police that he was standing near the corner of York and Gold street at around 3 pm on April 25 when someone opened fire, hitting the victim in both legs.

Despite the pain, the victim jumped into his 2004 Toyota 4 Runner and sped off — but didn’t get far before he lost control and crashed.

Another man was shot in the leg after parking his car on Bridge Street near York Street at around 5 am the next day.

He told police that a group of men was fighting nearby when he heard three or four shots and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left leg.

Cops said they don’t know if the shooting incidents were related.
