MANHATTAN — Four people were shot, one critically, in a daylight shooting that started outside a neighborhood deli across from the Lincoln Houses Wednesday, authorities said.
The shooter, who has not been identified and is still at large, fired several shots from the street into 20 Stars Deli/Grocery at 2110 Madison Ave. about 3:30 p.m., sources said. A 25-year-old man was struck in the head and grievously wounded. A 17-year-old man who was also in the shop was hit in the chest.
The gunman also wounded a 43-year-old man in the chest and neck and a 24-year-old woman was grazed in the arm by a bullet in the courtyard of the public housing project across the street, sources said.
Angel Rivera, 25, a construction worker from Queens working on 132nd Street, said "We heard four or five shots."
The police department had no immediate information on the shooting.
Wanda Machin, 35, mother of three who lives across the street from the shooting, expressed frustration over the rise of shootings in the area.
"Broad daylight! It's gotten worse since the last administration, way worse," Machin said. "I purchased in that store before. It could have been anyone."
