Two masked gunmen opened fire into a crowd of people playing dominoes near basketball courts Friday night in Brooklyn, striking two men, police said.
The double shooting happened around 4:30 p.m. near Schenectady Ave. and Prospect Place in Crown Heights, cops said. In a video obtained by the Daily News, a group of people can be seen gathered around an electrical transformer on the sidewalk playing dominoes when the gunmen appear and open fire, sending the crowd scrambling for cover.
The shooters let fly 11 rounds total, striking one man in the left foot and another man in the left leg, according to police. Medics transported both victims to Kings County Hospital in stable condition, police said.
A worker at a nearby deli who did not want to be identified for fear of retaliation said the shooters starting blasting upon a signal.
“There were three guys,” he said. “One gave them the signal. Then there were two guys shooting, dressed in black — black masks, black everything. They ran in different directions. There were at least nine shots. They were shooting at eight guys playing dominoes on the electrical box.”
“They’re all locals,” he added, referring to both the victims and the shooters.
There have been no immediate arrests as the investigation is ongoing, police said.
