A 7-month-old baby was killed by a stray bullet Wednesday afternoon in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood, police said.

The infant was being pushed in a stroller at the intersection of Moore and Humboldt streets in East Williamsburg when she suffered a gunshot wound to the head, according to police reports.

Authorities said the shooting occurred during the afternoon hours, with the baby struck by what investigators believe was a stray bullet not intended for the child.

The incident took place in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn, where police responded to reports of the shooting. No further details about potential suspects or the circumstances surrounding the shooting have been released by authorities.

The death highlights ongoing concerns about gun violence in New York City neighborhoods and the risk posed by stray bullets to innocent bystanders.
