A gunman blasted away at three men in a Brooklyn park Friday night, killing two of them.
The unhinged shooter opened fire near the basketball courts inside Fort Greene Park just before 11:30 p.m., according to witness Timothy White.
“I sat down in the park for maybe a minute,” said White, 48. “There were about 50 kids hanging out. Then out of nowhere, someone started shooting ... (there was) no yelling or warning or anything.”
White said up to nine shots were fired as he and others scrambled out of the Myrtle Ave. park.
“It was a big gun, high caliber. The whole crowd started running. I couldn’t tell if the gunman was aiming at someone or shooting randomly,” White said.

When the shooting stopped two young Brooklyn men, identified by police as Jahmal Issac Page, 21, and Anthony Earl-Govon, 22, lay dead on a cobblestone path in the middle of the park.
Police confirmed two men were shot in the head and died inside the park.
Cops cordoned off the greenspace for most of the night as they searched for evidence. A sister of one of the victims had to be restrained by detectives as she tried to cross police lines to get a better look at her murdered sibling.
“That’s my brother! Oh my God, he’s dead!” the woman was heard screaming.
Cops were still looking for the shooter Saturday morning.
