Moments later, you see a teenager, later identified as a 16-year-old, with a 1-year-old baby in her arms rush out of the car.<\/p>\n<p>When investigators arrived, they said they found a 32-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the ankle and a little girl who was injured by flying glass from a bullet that struck the windshield.<\/p>\n<p>Police sources say they do not believe the teen and the baby in the car were the intended target.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All of a sudden bam, bam, bam, bam. I would say eight or 10 pops,&#8221; witness David Valentin said. &#8220;It&#8217;s crazy. Whatever person did that, they have to find them and get them off the streets because that&#8217;s dangerous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The wounded man and the little girl were transported to Lincoln Hospital. Police sources say they don&#8217;t believe the victims knew each other.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s unfortunate. It does, fortunately, sound like they&#8217;re going to make it, but nonetheless it&#8217;s a dangerous situation in a relatively quiet area,&#8221; resident Just Moore said.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone with any information is asked to call the NYPD&#8217;s Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
