Police learned of a fourth victim hurt in a deadly shooting inside a Brooklyn apartment building after a woman checked herself into a New Jersey hospital to be treated for gunshot wounds.

Cops responded to East Flatbush on Saturday afternoon around 1:45 p.m. for reports of gunfire inside a four-story building off East 45th Street and Snyder Avenue.

Three victims were found at the scene with varying injuries and rushed to Kings County Hospital. A 39-year-old man, identified by police as Emmanuel Soray, died after being shot in the face.

A 27-year-old woman shot in the chest was listed in critical condition and a second man was struck in the leg, but expected to survive.

Hours later, authorities learned of a female victim who arrived at a hospital in Elizabeth, New Jersey, after being shot in the arm and buttocks, according to police.

Neighbors were alarmed to hear of the gun violence that transformed their block into a crime scene in the middle of the afternoon.

"We're not safe anywhere now, too much shooting is going all over the place," one woman said.

Any connection between the three victims and the shooter responsible was not clear, nor had police released any suspect description hours later.
