Two dead, six wounded in overnight NYC shootings and stabbings

It was a bloody overnight in the Big Apple, with two people killed and six injured in three separate acts of violence across the city.

A harrowing scene unfolded in Brooklyn, when gunfire erupted on a Greenpoint street early Saturday morning, police said.

Shots rang out on Stewart Avenue and Cherry Street around 1:50 a.m., a department spokesman said.

Cops are still sorting out the mayhem and searching for two gunmen, authorities said.

The shots rang out on Stewart Avenue and Cherry Street, a desolate block that runs parallel to the Brooklyn Queens Expressway, around 1:50 a.m., a department spokesman said.

The bloody scorecard: Three 18-year-old men walked into Wyckoff Hospital; one was shot in the left ankle, another was shot in the face — both were in stable condition — and the third was critically wounded in the chest, police said.

All three arrived without help from EMS, authorities said.

Cops subsequently learned that a 33-year-old man also walked into Woodhull Hospital after being shot in the right ankle and two wounded 20-year-old men checked into Jamaica Hospital — one shot in the back, the other in the left leg, police said.

All were listed in stable condition, the NYPD said.

There were no arrests and cops said they have little to go on in the mass shooting. “We’re looking for two males,” the NYPD spokesman said. “That’s it. That’s all we have.”

Earlier, at 11:45 p.m. Friday, 76-year-old Kuen Tat Ho was found stabbed multiple times in the head, back and torso in his home at 23-37 120 Street in College Point, police said.

EMS took Ho to New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, cops said.

Investigators arrested the victim’s wife, Lai Chun Ho, 74, for the killing.

She’s charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon.

“There’s no motive yet and the investigation is continuing,” an NYPD spokesman said.

Separately, in the Bronx, a man was fatally shot in the stomach in front of 1186 Evergreen Ave. shortly before 3:30 a.m., cops said.

EMS brought the unidentified victim, whose age was not immediately available, to Jacobi Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
