Responding officers found a 33-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his buttocks. He also suffered a graze wound to his head.

About a half hour later, a 25-year-old man showed up at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center suffering from a gunshot wound to the abdomen, police said.

He was immediately rushed into surgery and was on the mend Friday, cops said.

Because the younger victim was in surgery, cops didn’t learn until later that the wounded man had also been shot on Wilson Ave.

Cops at the scene were photographed guarding pools of blood near the building’s entrance.

A motive for the shooting was not immediately disclosed. No arrests have been made.

Detectives were scouring the area for surveillance video that can help them identify the shooter.

Police mark a shell casing found at the scene.
