NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- One man is dead and another was hospitalized early Sunday afternoon following a shooting in Queens.

Around 8:30 a.m. Sunday, police were called to 144th Avenue and 227th Street in Brookville, Queens and found two men shot at the scene, the NYPD said.

A 38-year-old man was found to have suffered gunshot wounds to the head and a 40-year-old man had been wounded in the torso, police said.
