A man is clinging to life after he was shot in the head Saturday morning outside a Queens laundromat, cops said.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old was shot in front of the Super Laundry Laundromat<\/a> at the Conduit Plaza shopping strip around 8:37 a.m. near Springfield Blvd. and 144th Ave. in Laurelton.<\/p>\n

\u201cI heard a pop, I come to the front of the door and I see a guy in green camo running,\u201d a man named Mohammad who works at a nearby Edible Arrangements shop said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought this was a safe area but it\u2019s making me second guess,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

EMS rushed the man to Jamaica Hospital<\/a> where he was in critical condition.<\/p>\n

No arrests have been made.<\/p>\n

Another man, Asim, said witnessing the incident was traumatizing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI heard the gunshot and I thought I was imagining, and usually planes fly overhead, so I thought it was the planes malfunctioning,\u201d he said. \u201cI saw the victim\u2019s mother crying and screaming and I was like, heck is actually happening.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was scary, very scary and I was all teared up seeing the mother and the young man on the ground,\u201d he said. \u201cI wanted to just go home because it hurt me so much.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man is clinging to life after he was shot in the head Saturday morning outside a Queens…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":133781,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[262,263,266,85,267,9,24,264,12,63,261,122,124,123,265],"class_list":{"0":"post-133780","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-queens","8":"tag-city","9":"tag-county","10":"tag-crime-and-public-safety","11":"tag-latest-headlines","12":"tag-local-news","13":"tag-new-york","14":"tag-new-york-city","15":"tag-new-york-county","16":"tag-news","17":"tag-nyc","18":"tag-nyc-crime","19":"tag-queens","20":"tag-queens-headlines","21":"tag-queens-news","22":"tag-sub-county-region"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133780\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/133781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
