The 7-month-old baby killed by a stray bullet in Brooklyn while her mother was pushing her around in her stroller on Wednesday afternoon had just learned how to say \u201cmama,\u201d her heartbroken family told The Post.<\/p>\n
The tragic tot, Kaori, was seated with her brother in a double stroller when \u201csomething went off\u201d near Humboldt and Moore Streets, their mother, Lianna Charles-Moore said in a phone interview.<\/p>\n
Those loud blasts turned out to be gunshots fired by a thug on the back of a moped, but the distraught mom didn\u2019t realize at first. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe thought it was fireworks, but my son jumped out of the stroller, and I picked him up and carried him,\u201d the 20-year-old recalled.<\/p>\n
7-month-old Kaori Patterson-Moore was fatally shot dead in her stroller by a stray bullet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI 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,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The tearful mother revealed that her son had also been grazed in his back by a bullet and has been asking for his sister ever since she was fatally shot.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy daughter was innocent. She didn\u2019t deserve that. We was just going outside to go get her a few things, and my son a few things. My son got impacted with everything that happened, yeah, so it was just too much, because they could have killed my son and my daughter,\u201d Liana said.<\/p>\n

Family members remembered the 7-month-old as a bubbly baby who was \u201calways laughing\u201d and said she had just learned how to say the word \u201cmama.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe just started saying, Mama, she just started, like, almost about to crawl, like it was just a whole bunch of stuff that she was just learning how to do,\u201d her mother said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 7-month-old baby killed by a stray bullet in Brooklyn while her mother was pushing her around in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":183017,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[98,4207,57,9,56,63,65,64,3980,58],"class_list":{"0":"post-183016","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"tag-brooklyn","9":"tag-children","10":"tag-metro","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-ny","13":"tag-nyc","14":"tag-nyc-headlines","15":"tag-nyc-news","16":"tag-shootings","17":"tag-us-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183016","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183016"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183016\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/183017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183016"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
