A 34-YEAR-OLD man was shot to death and a pregnant woman grazed in the stomach during a wild shooting in Brooklyn early Saturday, police said.

Chaz (Chazzo) Manuel was shot in the chest and stomach when a gunman ran up and started blasting on Albany Ave. near Decatur St. about 1:45 a.m., police said.

A woman who is about seven months pregnant was standing next to the doomed man and grazed in the stomach .

Both were rushed to Kings County Hospital, where Manuel died of his wounds.

The pregnant woman’s injuries were minor and her baby was unharmed, police sources said. No arrests have been made. Manuel was a father of three whose stylish gold BMW stood out in the neighborho­od, friends said.

“All I know is my friend was killed,” said a pal who declined to give his name. “They were just hanging out.”

In an unrelated incident about 90 minutes earlier, two men in their 20s were blasted in the chest by a drive-by shooter on Regent Place and E. 21st St.

Both men were taken to Kings County Hospital and expected to survive.
