On Friday, police reported that a three-year-old girl was shot in Brooklyn.
Police say that at around 6 p.m. in Brownsville, the girl was coming out of a daycare near Boyland Street and Riverdale Avenue with her father when a gunman opened fire.
Police say the shooter was not targeting the girl or her father, but one of the bullets struck her in the shoulder.
The three-year-old is currently listed in stable condition and so far, no arrests have been made.
The New York Police Department (NYPD) recently announced that five more neighborhood safety teams will be hitting the streets in troubled crime-plagued precincts.
