Two men were wounded in Queens early Saturday when a gunman shot into a car before being chased off by police, cops said.
Patrolling officers were responding to the sound of gunfire when they found the gunman shooting into a black Toyota on Roosevelt Ave. near 89th St. in East Elmhurst around 3:15 a.m., police said.
The gunman fled north on 89th St., and one officer fired off a round amid the chaos. That shot did not strike anyone, according to police.
The gunman struck a 44-year-old man in the torso and a 28-year-old man was shot in the groin, cops said.
Both victims were taken to NY Health and Hospitals Elmhurst, where they were listed in stable condition.
Police set up a crime scene on Roosevelt Ave. centered on the bullet-riddled Toyota Yaris, its hood crumpled and driver-side window smashed. A trail of blood was visible stretching from the wrecked auto to the corner of 89th St.
No arrests have been made.
