Police are investigating a shooting this morning at Seventh Street and Avenue D.
According to early reports, one man was shot in the abdomen and arm around 10 a.m. As of 11:30 a.m., police sources said the victim was being treated at a local hospital. His immediate condition wasn't known.
Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots and seeing a suspect flee the scene. The suspect was wearing a black hoodie.
"We heard maybe six shots — they were so loud," said one resident who was nearby at the time. "We ducked down and called 911. Afterward, we saw smoke from the gun, and the shooter hopped on a bike and took off."
A helicopter was seen circling overhead afterward as police searched the area.
Seventh Street at Avenue D was closed to traffic as the NYPD continued its canvass.
This is a developing story.
