NEW YORK. A 20-year-old woman pushing a stroller with her 3-month-old son on a New York street was hit in the head by a “kick” from a gun and killed. The victim was rescued and transported to the Metropolitan Hospital Center, but she didn’t make it. His injuries were too serious.
Her baby was unharmed. At a press conference near the scene on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, New York City Mayor Eric Adams appealed to find the killer. “We will find the culprit of this horrible crime, we will find him and we will bring him to justice,” Adams said. The woman was shot in the head by a man dressed completely in black, who approached her from behind her. No suspects were taken into custody. The shooting is the latest in a series of attacks, some of them seemingly random, in the streets and subways of New York that have left residents with bated breath.
