Two men were shot and killed in separate incidents early Sunday, as the spate of gun violence in the Big Apple continued through the weekend.

Police said the first victim, a 32-year-old man, was found with a gunshot wound to the right leg behind 260 Park Hill Avenue on Staten Island around 12:45 a.m.

He was transported to Staten Island University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Shortly after 3 a.m., police responded to a 911 call of a shooting in front of 2760 Bronx Park East, where they found a 37-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the head.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

There have been no arrests in either slaying, according to police.

The two fatal shootings were among four incidents of gunplay reported between 7 a.m. Saturday and 7 a.m. Sunday.

As of Sunday morning, there had been 31 shootings reported since Monday — up from 17 over the same period last year.

That includes a bloody seven-hour stretch overnight Friday into Saturday that saw three people shot and killed, police said.

A 58-year-old man was gunned down near West 101st Street and Amsterdam Avenue around 12:42 a.m. Saturday. That came after Jaheim Guinn, 17, was shot in the head outside his Dead Street apartment in Brooklyn around 10:20 p.m. Friday, and Ancil Blackman, 39, was shot in the face outside Miller Evangelical Christian Union Church in Crown Heights.
