At least seven people were shot across the Big Apple overnight as the city grapples with rising gun violence, cops said.
A 23-year-old man and 22-year-old woman were standing on Liberty Avenue near 127th Street in South Richmond Hill around 3:15 a.m. Monday when someone opened fire from a silver sedan, authorities said.
The man was shot in the forearm and the woman in the leg, cops said.
The victims, who know each other, were taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in stable condition.
The motive for the shooting was unclear later in the morning, and police did not immediately know whether the victims were targeted.
Meanwhile, a 25-year-old man was shot in the neck shortly before 1 a.m. when he met up with another man he met online to sell a PlayStation 5, cops said.
The would-be buyer and a pal met the victim on 24th Street near 42nd Road in Long Island City. The duo then pulled a gun on PlayStation owner and tried to rob him of his cell phone before blasting him in the neck, police said.
The victim was taken to Weill Cornell Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition.
