THE BRONX — Gunfire at a Morris Heights housing complex left a man critically wounded Tuesday, police said.

The 28-year-old man was hurt when a bullet pierced his leg in the 5 a.m. shooting at the Sedgwick Houses, near West 174th Street, FDNY and NYPD officials said.

Another man was found inside the lobby of the building with what appeared to be a graze wound to his upper body, an NYPD spokesman said.

Both were rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital, officials said. The first victim was in critical condition and the second was in stable condition, police said. 

The shooter was not immediately arrested, cops said.
