Shot Twice, Man Drove Himself to Hospital But Didn't Survive

A man who had been shot twice managed to drive himself to a New York City hospital but ultimately succumbed to his injuries, authorities said.

Police say 37-year-old Rickie Young pulled up early Saturday morning at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn. He was wounded in the left shoulder and the right side of his jaw.

Investigators later determined he'd been shot in front of a building on Lefferts Avenue in Brooklyn's Prospect-Lefferts Gardens neighborhood. Young's home was around the corner from the shooting site.

Police were looking Saturday for a suspect in Young's death.
