NEW YORK (WABC) — A 15-year-old girl is being hailed as a hero for likely saving a baby’s life during a shooting that erupted this past weekend in the Bronx. Sarah Rivera was walking to the store near her home in the Bronx when according to police, a 23-year-old, Rasheem Simon allegedly began shooting at someone.
Sarah decided to act when she saw a baby stroller directly in the line of fire, and the father of the baby running away, leaving his child in the middle of the street.
“There was two shots and everybody starting running and there was a baby stroller in the way, so I pushed the baby stroller out of the way and a third shot hit me in the leg that’s why I fell on the floor,” Rivera said.
Rivera is currently recovering in the hospital.
