Police say a 23-year-old woman was shot during a fight with her ex-boyfriend in Yaphank.
The shooting happened around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday on Bartlett Commons.
The family tells News 12 they are fearful for their lives.
According to the victim's mother, the 23-year-old broke up with her boyfriend over a year ago.
The woman was transported to a hospital where she was treated and released.
A neighbor says the chaotic scene was unusual for the community.
"It's very, very quiet here," they said. "People work or are retired or have young children or they're stay-at-home moms. It's not like that at all here...ever."
Police tell News 12 no arrests have been made and an investigation is ongoing
