A gunman opened fire in a Manhattan park Saturday, wounding two innocent park goers enjoying the balmy weather, police said.
Gunshots rang out in Tompkins Square Park near Ave. A and E. 9th St. in the East Village about 12:47 p.m. as scores of park goers enjoyed Saturday’s 60-degree temperatures, cops said.
When police arrived at the scene, they found a man in his 30s shot in the buttocks and a woman in her 50s with a gunshot wound to the right hip.
EMS took both victims to Bellevue Hospital for treatment. Neither injury is believed to be life-threatening, cops said.
