Detectives are asking for the public’s help in finding three men wanted for firing shots into the crowded lobby of a Flushing housing development Thursday afternoon.

The suspects pulled up in a black car to the Latimer Gardens housing complex on 137th Street at 3:10 p.m. and fired three shots into the main lobby, according to authorities.

Police believe the car is a two-door 2013 Hyundai Genesis with tinted windows.

The three suspects, described as Asian males in their 20s, missed their intended target, according to police, and fled in the car.

Though there were no reported injuries, several civilians, including schoolchildren, were standing in the direct vicinity of the shots fired, authorities said.
