It’s giving a total nightmare on a regular Monday night. A 12-year-old girl was rushed to the hospital after being shot multiple times in the Bronx, and the whole situation is highkey tragic.
Around 8:30 p.m. on Monday, gunfire broke out on Tratman Avenue near St. Peters Avenue in Westchester Square. According to the NYPD, the young girl was struck in the torso and her right foot while standing in front of a building.
Real talk: authorities do not believe she was the intended target. Investigators are currently looking into whether the incident was a gang-related shootout that spiraled out of control. The girl was taken to Montefiore Hospital via a private vehicle and is currently in serious but stable condition.
As of now, the investigation is still active and no arrests have been made.
