Seven people were shot early Sunday across New York City, two of them fatally, police said.

The fatal shootings both took place in Brooklyn, the first at around 12:22 a.m., when Donovan Davy, 45, was struck in the neck and right leg at East 35th Street and Church Avenue in East Flatbush. He was rushed to Kings County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

“I heard sirens so I ran outside,” Donovan’s sister, Pashona Davy, 31, told The Post.

“I was trying to run to him and they pulled me away. I was hysterical.”

Hours later, at 10:40 a.m., another man died after being struck by gunfire at 301 Sutter Ave. in Brownsvill­e’s Langston Hughes Apartments, cops said. No further details were available.

There were no arrests in either homicide.

Minutes before midnight Sunday, a man was struck by gunfire in his buttocks during a dispute at 171st Street and Liberty Avenue in Jamaica, Queens. He was rushed to Jamaica Hospital in stable condition.

Bullets flew again at around 2:44 a.m. at Throop Avenue and Bartlett Street in the Broadway Triangle section of Brooklyn, where a man was shot in the right leg, stomach and buttocks, cops said. He was taken to Kings County Hospital in stable condition. The shooter fled.

Then, at around 4:30 a.m., three people were struck by gunfire outside 252 Dumont Ave. in Brownsvill­e, cops said.

A 45-year-old woman was grazed in her right calf, a 16-yearold boy was grazed in his chest and a 45-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to his chest and arm, police sources said.

The teen was believed to be the man’s son, and the woman was apparently unrelated. All three were uncooperat­ive with police, the sources said.
