A Jackson Heights man was intentionally shot and wounded in his apartment when a bullet came crashing through his front door on Wednesday morning.
Police from the 115th Precinct in Jackson Heights responded to a 911 call of a person shot in an apartment building at 33-07 83rd St. at 5:15 a.m.
Officers found the 32-year-old victim with a gunshot wound to his left leg. EMS rushed him to Elmhurst Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, according to an NYPD spokeswoman.
Cops are looking for two men who were seen on video surveillance approaching the victim’s apartment. An argument ensued, and one of the intruders pulled out a handgun and fired through the front door, striking the victim in his left inner thigh.
