QUEENS — A man driving a rental car was found gunned down Wednesday evening in Springfield Gardens, police said.

The 22-year-old victim was found in the driver's seat of the 2011 white Dodge Charger at Ring Place and 118th Avenue about 7:30 p.m. after cops responded to a call of shots being fired, police said.
