Police today are looking for at least two suspects in connection with the shooting death of an 87-year-old woman who was struck by a stray bullet while sitting in her building's courtyard.

Witnesses say they heard about six shots fired just before 6 p.m. yesterday at the Surfside Garden housing project in Coney Island.

Police say Anna Surman was sitting on a bench in the building's courtyard when she was shot in the neck by one man firing at another. She was taken to Lutheran Hospital where she died.

Residents say Surman, pictured right, was often out in the courtyard, taking care of a family of stray cats that lived there.

"I'm really disgusted," said another. "That's what it is, disgusted they did that to her because she's a kind lady, she wouldn't hurt anybody and they hurt her."

"She liked life," said Surman's home health aide, who found out about Surman's death this morning from a note on her door.

Some neighbors say due a recent influx in shootings, they are afraid to come outside.

"My grandmother comes outside a lot. And I wouldn't want her to get hurt," said a local resident. "It's sad because thee old ladies sit over here all the time. They play cards, don't bother nobody. And look what happens, just because somebody is running after somebody else with a gun. And they shot her. And that's not right."

"Another day out here I guess," said another local. "There's been several shootings happening for the past week, three days out of the week. It's happened like almost everyday."

"You're not safe," said a third Coney Island resident. "You don't know where to go. It's terrible."

According to police statistics, by this point last year, there had been three murders in the precinct. So far this year, there have been eight, including a fatal shooting at a construction project directly next door to the housing project where Surman was killed.

"We're all here upset about it," said Brooklyn Assemblyman Alec Brook-Kasny. "We're trying to change Coney Island."

As of this hour, no arrests have been made.

There are no surveillance cameras on the property.
