Two men were shot inside a transitional housing building in Brooklyn's Brownsville neighborhood on Tuesday evening, leaving both wounded but reported in stable condition. The gunfire erupted inside a mixed supportive-housing complex and drew a sizable response from police and EMS. Officials said the victims were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Officers and medics flooded 91 Junius St., known in the neighborhood as the Stone House, just before 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. According to News 12, a 30-year-old man was shot in the abdomen and a 35-year-old man was hit in the right leg. EMS took both victims to One Brooklyn Health–Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, where police listed them in stable condition.
What the Stone House Is
The Stone House is a mixed supportive and affordable housing development run by Women In Need that opened in 2018, according to Win. The building includes dozens of supportive units, on-site case management and community spaces, all designed to help formerly homeless families and individuals move toward more stable long-term housing.
Brownsville Safety Context
Brownsville has seen multiple shootings in recent months and has one of the city's heaviest concentrations of public and supportive housing. Local reporters and community groups say that mix complicates long-term violence prevention efforts. That pattern was explored in a Hoodline report on a February shooting at the Seth Low Houses, Brooklyn teen survives daylight ambush, which examined both the neighborhood's spike in gunfire and city interventions in the 73rd Precinct.
Investigation
Police said the Brownsville shooting remains under investigation, with no arrests or suspect descriptions in the initial reports. The NYPD had not released any additional details at the time of News 12's coverage.
