Marine Park woman targeted by gunman

A masked man opened fire on a 47-year-old Marine Park woman as she took her 13-year-old son to school Thursday morning.

A bullet grazed the woman’s head and the gunman ran off, said police, who were still looking for the camouflage-clad triggerman as this paper went to press.

Cops said that the woman and her son had just walked to her car parked near the corner of Quentin Road and Coleman Street at 8 a.m. February 4 when the suspect opened fire.

The woman suffered a graze wound. Her son was startled but otherwise uninjured.

Paramedics rushed the woman to Kings County Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition after treatment.

Police sources said that they were investigating “several avenues” into the shooting, including the possibility that the woman knew her attacker.

“This does not appear to be a random act,” one source said as this paper went to press.

Anyone with information regarding the shooting is urged to come forward.

Calls can be made to the NYPD CrimeStoppers hotline at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
