Brooklyn, New York — A 30-year-old man is in critical condition after being shot late Monday night in the Bed-Stuy neighborhood. The incident occurred just before 11 p.m. outside 203 Sumpter Street, near Rockaway Avenue.

According to police reports, officers responded to the scene and found the man suffering from gunshot wounds to his chest and leg. Emergency Medical Services took him to Brookdale Hospital for treatment. His current condition remains serious.
