A 63-year-old man sitting in a Norwood park was shot after being confronted by a small group of young toughs.
According to police spokeswoman Annette Markowski, the unidentified victim was sitting on the steps of Prince Charley Park at East 204 Street and Webster Avenue, at just after 11 p.m., on Saturday, May 9.
Markowski explained, "Three males and one female walked past the victim, when one male stared at the victim and a verbal confrontation occurred."
The victim suffered a gunshot wound to the upper right thigh and was transported by paramedics to St. Barnabas Hospital, he was expected to make a complete recovery.
Police describe the suspects as three white males and one white female, all believed to be in their 20's.
Police continue to investigate the incident.
Detectives in the 52nd Precinct were investigating a second unrelated shooting that took place a little more than an hour later at University Avenue and West 183Street.
Few details were available, but the male victim was shot at just after midnight and he too was expected to survive.
