An innocent 61-year-old woman was fatally shot coming out of her Harlem apartment building Tuesday night after two men opened fire on each other, police sources said.
The woman took a bullet to the head when she got caught in the crossfire leaving the building at West 113 Street and Lenox Avenue just before 10:30 p.m., according to the sources.
She was rushed to Mount Sinai Morningside, where she was pronounced dead, police said.
Responding officers, meanwhile, found one of the alleged perps — a 23-year-old man — suffering from a gunshot wound to his left foot at the scene, according to sources.
The suspect was taken into custody and transported to the same hospital in a stable condition. It is unclear if he was the one who shot the woman.
The other gunman hasn’t yet been identified, the sources said.
A firearm and eight shell casings were found at the scene, according to the sources.
Police said the shooting is still under investigation and the victim’s identity is being withheld pending family notification.
