A seven-month-old girl was shot and killed while sitting in her pushchair in 'broad daylight' in New York City's borough of Brooklyn, police have said. Authorities believe the baby was the unintended victim of a suspected gang-related shooting. Footage from the scene shows two men riding against the flow of traffic when a man sitting on the back of the motorcycle fired at least two rounds, according to New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch. After the bike crashed, the suspected shooter was apprehended, but a 'massive' manhunt is now underway for the driver. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani remarked, 'A life that had barely begun was taken in an instant,' stressing the need to combat gun violence in the city. The incident occurred as several adults and children were present at a street corner, where the baby's parents ran for cover when the gunfire erupted, only to discover their child had been shot. Witnesses described chaotic scenes as families sought refuge in nearby shops. Emergency services arrived shortly after, but the child was pronounced dead at the Woodhull Hospital. Authorities are continuing their investigation, trying to connect the apprehended suspect to the shooting.
