A 5-year-old girl was shot in the back as she was trying to flee gunfire in the Ridgewood section of Queens, at Seneca Avenue and Stanhope Street. The child, who was apparently sitting outside when an argument broke out, was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition. A neighbor told the Daily News, "They hit this innocent little girl. These are gangbangers firing at each other like animals." The Post reports reports that it's not clear whether the girl was "hit by a low-caliber bullet or a pullet gun"; plus, witnesses saw men wearing gang colors. A second person, a 27-year-old man, was hit in the leg and was questioned by the police.

The neighbor is correct, these are animals. I'll put it another way, ignorant cowards. A gang of boys who want to be men but really are children with guns.
where are all the people who long for the old days of "gritty" new york? i'm sure you're all happy now.
that'll be a story to tell when she grows up
I recall more stabbings and beatings by the 70s gangbangers. With the crack epidemic everyone was packing heat. These fucking idiots treat the city like it is a video game... It is disgusting
There's absolutely no reason for anyone to wear gang colors other than to boast they're in a gang. NYPD should start rounding up people who wear them.

You mean round up everyone who wears red or blue?
