Man shot in the back at Tarken Playground

A man who turned up at Tarken Playground with a bullet hole in his back doesn’t know who shot him, why he shot him or how he shot him, police say.

The 26-year-old victim is expected to survive the single wound, although the bullet passed through his body and exited his chest. The shooting occurred on Saturday at about 11:51 p.m. on the 6300 block of Summerdale Ave. Police found the victim lying on the sidewalk alongside Tarken. He was taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center in serious but stable condition.
