Kaori Patterson-Moore was struck in the head by a stray bullet around 1:20 p.m. Wednesday near Moore Street and Humboldt Street, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Police say shooting was gang related \"\" <\/p>\n

“The male sitting at the rear of the moped can be seen taking out a gun and discharging at least two rounds toward the southwest corner,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. “On that corner were several adults, as well as two strollers and several children standing nearby. Our seven-month-old victim was sitting inside one of these strollers when she was struck.”<\/p>\n
