A Deer Park woman was shot late Thursday by one of two men waiting inside her apartment on Washington Avenue, Suffolk County police said.
Cedra Gordon, 21, and her boyfriend, Devon Lewis, 26, drove up to the apartment building at about 11:40 p.m., police said, and she went inside while he remained in the car.
On finding the two men, she returned to the car, police said. Lewis got out and one of the suspects opened fire, hitting Gordon while she sat in the vehicle, police said. Police said she was shot in the chest.
Lewis drove her to the Deer Park Firehouse, and Deer Park Rescue took her to Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center, where she was treated for a gunshot wound that was not life-threatening, police said.
