1 injured in Hempstead shooting, cops say
A Hempstead man was shot in the leg on Sunday night, police said.
The man, described as in his 30s, suffered injuries that were not life-threatening, Hempstead police said.
The shooting occurred in the area of 71 Martin Luther King Dr. about 9 p.m., police said.
