Police are investigating an apparent drive-by shooting that took place in Astoria last week.

Multiple shots were fired at two men who were sitting in a car in the vicinity of Steinway Street and 36th Avenue
on Dec. 26 at around 4:30 a.m., police said.

One of the victims, 35, was shot in the arm, leg and face and was taken to Elmhurst Hospital.

The other victim, 36, was shot in the torso, arm and leg, and was taken to Mt. Sinai Queens in a private vehicle. Both victims are in stable condition.

Hours later, police found an unoccupied vehicle with bullet holes in it on 41st Street and Broadway. Police believe the car was used in the shooting.

No arrests have been made and the investigation is still ongoing, according to police.
