A man hanging out with a pal in Astoria was shot twice in the face and killed late Friday, when an attacker in a gray hoodie marched up to 40-05 Astoria Blvd. and opened fire, cops said.

Anthony Edwards, 31, was pronounced dead at Mount Sinai Hospital-Queens, while his 30-year-old friend — who was shot in the groin as he tried to flee — was taken to NYC Health & Hospitals/Elmhurst, in stable condition, cops said.
