A chilling video has emerged depicting a dramatic gunfight in the Bronx on Wednesday, during which a stray bullet grazed a 5-year-old girl.
Released by the NYPD, the footage captures a chaotic scene as a group of suspected gang members sprint down a sidewalk, recklessly firing weapons over their shoulders.
The broad daylight clash between two rival gangs unfolded along Southern Avenue in the Longwood neighborhood, forcing innocent pedestrians to flee for safety, according to sources.
Amid the chaos, the young girl found herself caught in the crossfire and was grazed by a stray bullet.
She was in the company of her 42-year-old mother at the time of the incident, sources revealed.
Reports suggest that the assailants were alarmingly close to the mother and daughter when they began shooting.
The surveillance video shows two young men out of a larger group running with guns. One hoodie-wearing shooter pointed his gun back as he ran, not even looking where he fired.
Another bandana-donning suspect – with his pants slipping to reveal apparent multi-colored underwear – just barely spun around to shoot behind. His gunshots went sailing over the head of his cowardly fellow shooter.
