Mostly Cloudy Man shot on N. Centre Ave. in Rockville Centre
22-year-old victim taken to South Nassau Communities Hospital
An unidentified man was shot on North Centre Avenue and Maine Avenue in Rockville Centre on Tuesday afternoon.
According to a witness at the nearby Rockville Nursing Centre, a man and a woman were being chased down the street by a second man when the first man collapsed, presumably from the gunshot. Police received the call reporting the shooting at 2:14 p.m.
The Rockville Centre Police Department identified the victim only as a 22-year-old man. Village spokesman Jeff Kluewer said the gunshot wound was not life-threatening, and that the man was taken to South Nassau Communities Hospital for treatment.
As of press time, the suspect had not been captured. The site of the shooting is just a block away from the Rockville Centre Public Library and just a few hundred feet from Old Mill Court, the site of many shootings and much gang-related activity over the years.
