NEW YORK (WABC) --
Police are searching for a gunman after a shooting in East Harlem Wednesday afternoon left four people wounded, one critically.
The shooting happened at Madison Avenue and 132nd Street. The victims, three men and one woman, were taken to Harlem Hospital.
A 25-year-old man was shot in the head and a 17-year-old man was shot in the chest, while a 43-year-old man and a woman in her 20's were grazed.
One of the victims is in critical condition.
Sources say the shooting began at the Lincoln Houses, a city run housing complex and spilled over to a deli across the street.
One of the victims was shot inside the deli.
The 17-year-old was shot in the courtyard of the Lincoln Houses.One witness heard shots, ran to the complex and found a man lying on the sidewalk bleeding from the chest.
He called 911, was told how to render aid, took off the man's shirt and applied chest compressions.
"I was talking to him, I did talk to him, I was like 'get up, stay focused, just try to stay up,'" said another witness, Awilda Ortiz. "And then I was trying to ask his name but his eyes kept going back."
No weapon was recovered but numerous shell casings were found at the scene.
There have been no arrests, but the shooting was caught on surveillance video and police are reviewing footage.
Teen killed, two hurt in triple shooting at Harlem housing complex: NYPD
HARLEM, Manhattan– A teenager was killed and two others were injured in a triple shooting at a Harlem housing complex Monday night, police say.
The incident happened at the Polo Ground Houses, located at 2931 Frederick Douglass Blvd. just after 10:45 p.m. Monday, police say. The shootings occurred as Rucker Park, steps away from the housing complex, kicked off its annual Entertainer Basketball Classic, a tournament that occasionally attracts NBA talent throughout the summer.
The first victim, Jordan Barber, was shot in the neck and was pronounced dead at Harlem Hospital. The second victim, a 19-year-old man, was shot in the thigh, but he is listed in stable condition, cops say. The last victim, a 17-year-old boy, walked into Lincoln Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the abdomen in stable condition, police say.
Man, 21, dies after he's shot in the head in the Bronx with daughter in his arms: cops
The last thing he saw was his wide-eyed baby girl still cradled in his tattooed arms, clutching her to his chest after a fatal bullet tore through his head.
Blood splattered onto little Taylor, a precious 1-year-old who escaped unharmed. But her father, 21-year-old Allen McQueen, was killed in the afternoon gunfire on a Bronx street.
The killer sped off in a Mercedes-Benz after the shooting, police said. It happened at 1:23p.m. Tuesday in Parkchester on Taylor Ave., a street eerily bearing the baby’s name. Taylor is also the name of a violent street gang — the Taylor Crew — that police say McQueen ran with in the Bronx.
“(McQueen) was on his back, and when he fell he twirled and fell on top of her,” she said. “I picked him up, and I picked up the baby. She was covered in blood.”
There have actually been a dozen shootings in Harlem broadly speaking in the course of the last week.
My friends that live in Harlem have been sharing news feed of it and I've been reading about these shootings myself. It's definitely been an interesting year for Harlem.

Currently, there are two or three shootings basically every day.
The city has a serious gang problem! Too much young black men with no fathers and no family structure man. Lets be real.
You are real. It sucks that most people would scream racism though any time someone says this.
