A 20-year-old woman pushing a stroller with her 3-month-old baby was shot in the head and killed on the streets of New York City Wednesday night, police said. The child was not harmed.

New York City Police Department commissioner Keechant Sewell said in a news conference that the mother was pushing the stroller when a man "fired a single shot into her head from a very close range" before fleeing. The woman, whose name was not released, was rushed to the hospital five blocks down the street. She was pronounced dead an hour after arrival.

  1. weird how this never happens in other countries. if only there was some way to solve this. *ahem* IF ONLY THERE WAS SOME WAY TO SOLVE THIS…….

    1. @David so go live there, why do i care what happens somewhere else?? I care what happens here, where i live…. Its clear where you get ya info from and what morals you have, keep asking the gov to slove ya problems, do you need a bigger soap box to stand on??? You think the rest of the world deals wit violent criminals the way we do?? Just a revolving door… Your move

  2. Was the perp a U.S. citizen? Did they obtain/carry the weapon legally? Given the location, several laws, already on the books were broken! These people running that city haven’t got a clue!

  3. The results of Defund the Police efforts and law enforcement that won’t enforce the laws; from the state’s Chief enforcement officer on down.

  4. Investing is easier with proper guidance,
    especially from a professional it really helps
    reduce the chances of running into losses. All
    thanks to Mr Mark Williams . He changed my life, was able to pay off my losses from both stock and Crypto market.

    1. @Daniel Craig After I came across investment platform of Mr Mark Williams my financial life has totally changed. I’m not bothered about the market fluctuations.

    2. Oh yes, that man, his good work has been
      everywhere. Been seeing a lot of good comments about him on several places. I feel more confident investing with him, I’ve been on the train for over two weeks now… best Broker for life

  5. K… this sounds odd… who shoots a woman pushing a baby along in the head for or anyone for that matter ? No details ? The dude behind the speaker looks like he’s signalling to someone by gliding his finger over his face. He did it right after the speaker said “innocent… new yorkers”. Maybe he’s saying she wasn’t so innocent.

  6. Too young and yet America has too many unlawful guns in it. It will never clean it’s act up. I’m sorry for my words. Rest peacefully mama and baby 💗💗

  7. How does a city of over 9 million people who are not legally allowed to possess firearms in public in a state with the most restrictive gun laws in the country have a gun problem? Up until the recent SCOTUS decision takes effect, the only legal option available to NYC residents is to dial 9-1-1.
    The fact is that when you dial 9-1-1 help is on the way, but they won’t arrive fast enough to save you. The victim might be alive today if she was allowed to legally arm herself. National Problem? Brazil abandoned its restrictive gun control regime and saw significant reduction in violent crime over a three year time span. Nice try.
