[NYPOST] At least two men were killed and 19 people maimed in shootings in the Big Apple this weekend, as gun violence continues to skyrocket with no end in sight, police said.
The weekend’s first fatal shooting came shortly before 6 a.m. Saturday in the South Bronx, where police responding to the scene found a 30-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the back lying on the ground.
The man was taken to Lincoln Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
He's dead, Jim!
Hours later, another man was rubbed out in the borough after bullets rang out outside a church in Morrisania.
The 41-year-old man, identified by sources as Vaughn Flanders, was bumped off in broad daylight Saturday outside St. Anthony of Padua Church at East 166th Street and Prospect Ave., cops said.
