NEW YORK – A 26-year-old New York City mother became the latest victim of gun violence in New York after being shot in the Bronx while pushing her 2-year-old daughter in a stroller.
Police said the young mother was shot in the thigh late Thursday night, and they are now investigating whether she was the gunman’s target.
Fortunately, the little girl was not injured and law enforcement officials say the woman was likely not the target of the shooting on West 225th Street, near the # 1 train.
The mother was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
The gunman escaped and it is unclear why he shot himself.
A witness working nearby said he heard the shot and heard the woman screaming for help.
No other information was immediately available.
