A bullet fragment also struck a parked 2023 Honda Civic, carrying a teenage girl and baby, and shattered the glass of its window, cops said. <\/p>\n

While the 16-year-old girl was unharmed, the glass fragments hit<\/a> the 1-year-old girl, causing minor injuries, authorities said. <\/p>\n

While the 16-year-old girl was unharmed, cops said the shattered glass caused the 1-year-old, who\u2019s the teen\u2019s relative, to sustain minor injuries. Peter Gerber<\/p>\n

EMS rushed to the scene, taking both victims to Lincoln Hospital, where they are in stable condition.<\/p>\n

Neither victim is believed to have been the gunman\u2019s intended target, sources said.<\/p>\n

Dramatic surveillance video obtained from the scene shows the moments before the shooting, as a shadowy figure in all black is seen walking up the block with his hand in their pocket, just in front of the Honda.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The goon then pulls out a gun and appears to be shooting at someone across the street, off-camera, according to the clip. <\/p>\n

Dramatic video shows the aftermath of the shooting, capturing a man leaving a nearby building to check on the passengers of the Honda Civic, then rushing them inside. Peter Gerber<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear if the shooter in the video shatters the Honda\u2019s glass, but he\u2019s seen disappearing into the wind soon after.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The video\u2019s nail-biting final moments show a man leaving a nearby building to check on the passengers of the Honda Civic, then rushing them inside.<\/p>\n

Neighbor Just Moore said he was walking home from grocery shopping with his 11-month-old when he stumbled upon the scene of the shooting.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s stuff like this that\u2019s the reason I don\u2019t wear headphones when I\u2019m out with her,\u201d Moore said. \u201cYou always have to be aware of something that\u2019s going on.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a dangerous situation in a relatively quiet area in a relatively quiet time of the day,\u201d resident Just Moore said.\u00a0 Peter Gerber<\/p>\n

The dad wasn\u2019t surprised that a shooting took place in the Bronx,<\/a> but was surprised it took place in his own neighborhood at that time of day.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a dangerous situation in a relatively quiet area in a relatively quiet time of the day,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Local David Valentin said he was watching TV when he heard between eight to ten gunshots.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI said \u2018it sounds like a gun, but it\u2019s school time,\u2019\u201d he said, calling the broad daylight shooting \u201ccrazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever person did that, they have to find him and get him off the streets. Because that\u2019s dangerous,\u201d local David Valentin said. Peter Gerber<\/p>\n
