UPPER WEST SIDE — The double shooting on West 94th Street Sunday night shocked neighbors on the block, sparking fears of a return to darker days.

Two men were shot outside a public housing building at 120 W. 94th Street about 11:30 p.m. Sunday, police said. Cops believe two groups of people exchanged shots, but the shooting isn't believed to be gang-related or linked to any ongoing neighborhood feud, a police source said.

"It reawakens a bad memory of the tougher times in the city," said 76-year-old Laura Webber, who's lived on West 94th Street between Columbus and Amsterdam for more than 40 years. "It makes me sad, or angry, or both. Or afraid."

One man was shot in the leg and the other was shot in the stomach, police said. They were taken to St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital. The man with the leg wound was treated and released, while the other man was still hospitalized as of Monday evening, police sources said.

No arrrests have been made in Sunday's shooting on West 94th Street, and the shooter is still at large, police said.
