A 5-year-old girl was shot in the stomach while outside an apartment building in the Bronx, N.Y. early Sunday morning, police say.
She is in stable condition at New York-Presbyterian Hospital and is expected to be all right.?
The shooting happened just before 1 a.m. in the courtyard at 1987 Hughes Ave., according to police. She was attending a baby shower and playing with other children when gunshots rang out, witnesses said.
"It echoed, a loud bang," said a witness who did not want to be identified.?
It was only after people fled the scene that the girl realized she had been shot. Neighbor Carmen Rosario said she found the child sitting in shock in a stairwell inside the building.?
"I heard a bunch of screaming and went out to see what was going on," Rosario said. "I called 911 not realizing she was hit."
"She was so quiet," she said. "Then police came and opened up the jacket as I held her. She was bleeding."?
Rosario said the children appeared to be unsupervised at the party when the gunshots rang out.?
"There were no adults around when the girl went looking for help," she said. "It doesn't make sense."?
The girl was transferred to New York-Presbyterian Hospital.?
Police are investigating.?
