The NYPD said the nameless suspect opened fire on a crowd standing near W. 20th St. on the Reigelmann Boardwalk at about 2 in the morning.
The NYPD revealed they were able to get 28 shell casings on the scene.
The NYPD said a 31-year-old man who was hit in the attack is now in critical condition at Coney Island Hospital after being shot in the back.
Another 19-year-old victim was also rushed to the same hospital with a gunshot to his left leg.
