US woman fatally shot while pushing stroller in NYC

A 20-year-old woman was fatally shot on Wednesday night while she pushed her infant daughter in a stroller in New York City, police said.

The woman was near the intersection of Lexington Avenue and 95th Street around 8:30 pm when she was shot, police said in a statement. She was taken to Metropolitan Hospital Center where she was pronounced dead, police said.

The three-month-old baby was not hurt, police said, but was taken to a hospital for medical evaluation.

“More guns in our city means more lives lost,” Mayor Eric Adams said during a news conference at the site of the shooting. “It means more babies crying, as those who love them lie dead.”  No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing, police said.
