A man was shot on E 18th Street and Church Avenue last night, says a spokesman for the FDNY. He says a call came in at 9:51pm and the shooting victim was taken to Kings County Hospital.

Though the FDNY was unable to confirm any other information, reports suggest [the victim was male and was shot in the stomach](https://twitter.com/AllisonPapson/status/407717281431826432?ref=bklyner.com), and that his [injuries were not life-threatening](https://twitter.com/AlwaysActions/status/407723454323240961?ref=bklyner.com).

This is the [second shooting](/blog/crime/man-shot-in-the-head-on-church-avenue-e-18th-street) in a little over a month at that intersection, and while [some neighbors have expressed concern](/blog/crime/notes-from-octobers-70th-precinct-community-council-meeting) about a lack of police presence on E 18th near Church, [others said they felt less safe](/blog/crime/nypd-watchtower-goes-up-on-church-avenue-e-18th-street) with an NYPD watchtower set up at the intersection over the summer.

**Update:** A spokesperson for the 70th Precinct says the victim was an 18-year-old man who may have been shot by someone else, or may have actually shot himself in the stomach and thumb, last night on Tennis Court before moving to E 18th and Church and calling the police himself. They confirmed he is not likely to die, and are currently investigating surveillance footage to better understand the incident.
