Update: Man Shot Last Night On Tennis Court

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, and that his injuries were not life-threatening.

This is the second shooting in a little over a month at that intersection, and while some neighbors have expressed concern about a lack of police presence on E 18th near Church, others said they felt less safe 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.
