EAST FLATBUSH — Two men opened fire on a small gathering Sunday morning sending nine people to area hospitals, cops said.

The victims, whose identities were not immediately released but whose ages ranged from 18 to 43, had all assembled near Clarendon Road and East 52nd Street when the two gunmen started feuding with them, according to the NYPD.

The duo were either being asked to leave or prevented from attending the party, cops said, which prompted the gunfire.

Most of the victims were hit in their legs or feet though a 34-year-old woman was shot in her lower back and an 18-year-old girl was shot in the right side of her torso, police said. All are expected to recover.

Five of the victims were taken to Brookdale Hospital, two to Kings County, one to Methodist Hospital, and a 27-year-old woman who was shot in the foot reported to Beth Israel, police said.

Police released surveillance footage showing two men wanted for questioning in connection to the shooting.

One, who was last seen wearing a white tank top, is believed to be in his 20s, about 6-feet-tall and 200 pounds, cops said.

The other is said to have "a slim build" and was last seen wearing a white tank top with a baseball cap, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
