A seven-month-old baby girl was shot and killed Wednesday afternoon in Brooklyn while being pushed in a stroller by her parents.
The New York Post reported that the baby, whose first name was Kaori, was sitting inside a double stroller with her brother when the mother said “something went off.” The “something” heard by the mother ended up being gunshots, the bullet from one of which struck Kaori.
The brother jumped at the sound and the father scooped him up, unharmed.
The father said, “I was hugging him, and then when I looked to my left, my daughter was just there, lying there. She was shot in the head. She was just bleeding. It was just too much.”
NBC News noted that the NYPD launched a manhunt and is asking for the public’s help in locating those involved. CBS News pointed out that “one person of interest is in custody.”
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch believes the incident was gang related.
