THIRTEEN MEN were shot — three fatally — during a spate of overnight violence across Brooklyn, the Bronx and Manhattan Sunday, police said.

A 26-year-old man, whose name was being withheld pending family notificati­on, died after he was shot several times in the chest on E. 95th St. shortly after he left a nearby house party on Conklin Ave. in Canarsie, Brooklyn, just after 2 a.m., police said.

“I was walking home and then I heard shots,” said a witness who didn’t give his name. “This guy just dropped.”

The victim was taken to Brookdale University Hospital but could not be saved, officials said. A .40-caliber handgun and at least three shell casings were discovered at the scene.

About 20 minutes later a gunman wearing a bandana over his face blasted Akming Albritton, 25, several times in the torso as he stood among a group of friends on North Elliot Place near Flushing Ave. — about three blocks from his Sands St. home in Fort Greene, police said.

The shooter fled the scene. Albritton died at Methodist Hospital, police said.

In Crown Heights, a 26-year-old man was fatally shot outside a home on Prospect Place near Utica Ave. shortly after 3:40 a.m., police said.

He was rushed to Interfaith Medical Center, where he died, officials said. His name was not immediatel­y released.

The morning mayhem began in the Bronx, when four men were shot around E. 156th St. and St. Ann’s Ave. in Morrisania just after 12:30 a.m., officials said.

All four men were in stable condition. It was not immediatel­y clear what spurred the attack.

About an hour later in Brooklyn, a 29-year-old man was shot in the chest and right shoulder on Stanley Ave. near Schenck Ave. in East New York just after 1:30 a.m., officials said. He was taken to Brookdale University Hospital and listed in stable condition.

Shootings also occurred in Carroll Gardens, where two people were shot just after 5 a.m.; in the Crotona section of the Bronx, where a 22-year-old man was shot in the torso; in Williamsbr­idge, where a teen, 16, was shot in the right hand; and in Harlem, where copswerein­vestigatin­gtheshooti­ngofaman onFrederic­kDouglassB­lvd.andW.155thSt. at about 6:20 a.m.
