The baby was in a car with her mother in the Bronx when she was shot in the latest act of gun violence that has shocked many in New York City.
An 11-month-old girl was in critical condition late Wednesday after being hit in the face by a stray bullet while sitting in a parked car with her mother in the Bronx, the police said.
After initially being taken to St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx, the girl, whose first birthday is on Friday, was moved to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan, the police said.
