Stray bullet hits 11-month-old baby girl in the Bronx, leaving her critically hurt
An infant girl was shot in the head and critically injured by a stray bullet on a Bronx street Wednesday night, police sources said.
The 11-month-old baby was sitting in the back seat of a car on Valentine Ave. near E. 198th St. in Bedford Park about 6:45 p.m. when a gunman started shooting at someone nearby, police said.
The tot, who was shot in the face, was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital, then diverted to New York Presbyterian Hospital Columbia University Medical Center, police sources said. The sources described her wound as life-threatening.
Surveillance video shows a man running along E. 198th St. before cutting right onto Valentine Ave. A few seconds later, a second man can be seen running after him right before he lifts his gun and aims down Valentine Ave.
The shooter, described as a Hispanic man wearing all black clothing, remains at large.
