THE BRONX, N.Y. (PIX11) \u2014 A 5-year-old was grazed in the head during a gang shootout in the Bronx on Wednesday, according to police and sources.<\/p>\n

The girl was taken to the hospital in stable condition, cops said.<\/p>\n

The suspects appeared to be involved in a gang shootout when the child was injured, sources said. It was unclear what sparked the shooting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s devastating to me. I\u2019m a grandfather to a 5-year-old little girl,\u201d said Javier Medina, who runs the Southern Boulevard Business Improvement District.<\/p>\n

The NYPD released photos and videos of three suspects sought in the shootout. The footage showed the suspects running down the sidewalk while firing shots.<\/p>\n
