Two men were shot and killed when bullets flew early Saturday in Staten Island and Brooklyn, while a woman took a bullet to the leg in the Bronx, cops said.

Gunfire erupted after a fight broke out at a party inside Exquisite Event Space on Eastern Parkway near Atlantic Ave. in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, around 3:30 a.m., cops said.

A man, 31, was shot in the stomach and rushed to Brookdale University Hospital but couldn’t be saved. The shooter ran off and there were no immediate arrests.
