JAMAICA — Two men were shot, one fatally, early Saturday after gunfire erupted in front of a Queens deli-grocery, cops said.

The victims, one 33, the other 32, were found outside Polanco Grocery at 5:11 a.m. by officers responding to a call of a man shot, police said.

Instead they discovered the two men bleeding from gunshot wounds, the 33-year-old from a shot in the chest and the other man from a wound in his ankle, cops said.

Both were rushed to Jamaica Hospital, but the older man was declared dead on arrival. The other victim was in stable condition, police said.

The deceased man's identity had not been released pending family notification, and an investigation was ongoing, police said. A phone at Polanco Grocery rang out on Saturday.
