Shooting starts at party, continues at hospital.

From Newsday:
Shooters determined to kill a man they had shot at an already-deadly Canarsie house party Sunday morning followed him to a hospital, where they continued shooting as he pulled up to the emergency room, leaving him in critical condition with wounds to the groin and leg, police said.

Three people were shot, including a 17-year-old who was killed, when a party in the basement of 712 E. 93rd St. turned into a shootout following a dispute, NYPD said.

Police got calls of shots fired at 1:17 a.m. and found that two of the victims had been driven to nearby hospitals and a third had flagged down a responding ambulance.

Police said the 17-year-old, Linton Williams, was driven to Kings County Hospital Center, where he was pronounced dead with gunshot wounds to the head and torso.

A 32-year-old, whose name has not been released, was driven to nearby Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center, police said. As he was getting out of the vehicle, a car that had been following him drove by and an occupant fired several shots, striking him. An ambulance then took him to Kings County Hospital.

The third victim, a 22-year-old man who flagged down a passing ambulance, was taken to Brookdale, where he was listed in stable condition with a gunshot wound to the left leg.
