A 73-year-old woman became another bystander-turned-victim of the city’s gun violence, as she was struck by a stray bullet in the Bronx as she was on her way to vote in Tuesday’s primaries, she said
"My girlfriend was coming down, we were going to vote. And all of the sudden I heard a shot and I hollered, 'I am shot,' ‘cause I felt my leg," she told NBC New York in a phone interview. The bullet hit her in the left ankle, and she was traumatized by the shooting which caught her by surprise.
The bullet holes in the building's exterior and windows were still readily visible on Wednesday. A couple who lives on the second floor said the bullets narrowly missed one of their daughters in her bedroom. The family ducked down, hiding in a hallway. They later took photos of the bullet holes, and found bullet fragments in their home.
