A woman pushing a baby in a stroller was shot in the head at close-range and killed in Manhattan Wednesday night, police said.

The three-month-old baby was unharmed, and the relationship between the 20-year-old woman and the baby was unclear Wednesday, police told CNN.

The shooting happened just after 8:20 p.m. in Manhattan's Upper East Side, police noted. Authorities are searching for a suspect.

"A woman is pushing a baby carriage down the block and is shot in point blank range. It shows just how this national problem is impacting families," New York City Mayor Eric Adams said during a news conference. "It doesn't matter if you are on the Upper East Side or East New York, Brooklyn."

1. Some reporting is indicating it was NOT random. Horrendous and intensely disturbing...

3. It would surprise me if it WAS random. Too precise.

And random crime is what scares people the most.

6. At first I

Misread this, “the 3 month old was (unarmed)” and thought WTAF is that. In GQP world babies should be armed at birth.
Thank you Supreme Court. That child is post womb and gun rights rule at that point. Maybe all those willing adopters will step forward for this poor child. Unless the child is black.
Boeberts’s Jesus will end all this carnage and bring back love and respect for ALL precious life, when we let government be guided by the churches.

9. Read that she was within blocks of a women's shelter where she was staying. Also read there was a

restraining order she had filed. This leads me to believe he domestic abuser murdered her as happens too damn often in this country.
