Four people – including three teenagers – were shot in a Brooklyn housing project early Wednesday morning, cops said.
Police were called to the Louis Armstrong Houses in Bedford-Stuyvesant about 4:30 a.m. after neighbors reported hearing gunfire on the third floor.
“I heard three or four shots,” said Linda Banks. “I was sleeping and woke up.”

Banks, a 55-year-old grandmother and longtime Armstrong tenant, said violence has become more widespread lately.
“I’ve been there 21 years and it’s getting worse,” she said. “Kids that don’t even live in that building or that block are hanging out.”
“We’ve been having some more shootouts lately,” she said.
