[NYPOST] At least seven people were shot — one fatally — in the city’s latest round of gun violence overnight, cops said Monday.The crime waves comes as new NYPD data shows a 64-percent spike in shootings this year versus last — representing 721 people maimed or killed by gunfire in 634 separate incidents.
The deadly incident came around 12:40 a.m. Monday at Morgan Avenue near Stagg Street in East Williamsburg when a gunman approached two men, 33 and 38, sitting in a Ford Mustang.
The suspect demanded property from the younger man — who was sitting in the passenger seat — and blasted him in the back when he refused, according to police.
Then he allegedly pistol-whipped the older man, the driver, and snatched a gold chain from him, while also swiping a gold chain from the passenger, cops said.
The older victim drove straight to Woodhull Medical Center, where the younger man was pronounced dead, cops said. The driver suffered minor injuries, according to police.
The gunman remains on the lam.
The mugging took place outside of an event space, but it was unclear if the victims had been there before they were attacked, cops said.
Another person was also robbed, allegedly by the same suspect, after the shooting — but police could say no more.on that incident.
