Overview
- NYPD on Friday arrested a 15-year-old and charged him with attempted murder in the Longwood shooting that injured a 5-year-old girl.
- The child was grazed in the ear during a rush-hour exchange of gunfire on Southern Boulevard on Wednesday and was treated at Harlem Hospital in stable condition.
- Police say she was not the intended target as at least six shots shattered a deli door and sent people scrambling for cover.
- Detectives released surveillance video on Thursday showing a group sprinting with at least one gun visible and are seeking two additional suspects through Crime Stoppers tips.
- Local officials and business leaders condemned the attack and planned outreach as police data show shootings down year-to-date in the Bronx yet stray-bullet cases continue to rattle the community.
