Two Amazon employees were shot late Sunday outside the company’s fulfillment center in Red Hook, Brooklyn, and both are in stable condition, according to officials. Officers think the intended target was a 23-year-old man who was hit in the shoulder while walking to work from a bus stop with his girlfriend, another Amazon worker who wasn’t hurt. A 25-year-old woman returning to her shift from a deli was shot in the chest. Police are looking for two people who drove off in a white sedan, and no one has been arrested. Amazon said it’s cooperating with the NYPD and supporting its employees.
