NEW YORK<\/strong> – An investigation is underway after police shot a man in a busy area of a Brooklyn neighborhood Tuesday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n What we know:<\/p>\n According to police, a 22-year-old man was shot near 533 Ocean Avenue in Flatbush shortly after 7:30 p.m. following reports of shots fired. A witness tells FOX 5 NY the shots going off in broad daylight sounded like fireworks.<\/p>\n Assistant Chief at Patrol Borough Brooklyn South Francis Giordano said at a press conference later in the evening that when officers approached the suspect, he was involved in a “shootout” with another individual. Officers discharged their weapons at one of the two individuals, striking him “at least once.” The other individual fled the scene.<\/p>\n “This whole incident is depicted on body-worn camera,” Giordano said. A Ruger 9mm was recovered at the scene, as well as “numerous” shell casings, he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n Giordano additionally stated that officers performed life-saving measures at the scene, and the suspect was transported to Kings County Hospital and is reportedly in stable condition. Officers were also sent to an area hospital for evaluation.\u00a0<\/p>\n This is a developing story.
