"Everyone heard an explosion. We thought kids were playing with firecrackers. Then we saw a lady on the ground. Everyone just scattered when the gunshot went off. She was on the floor. She looked confused."
"I think the victim was very stunned because she didn't yell or scream or anything. For the longest [time], nobody really knew what happened to her. She looked like everybody else there, on their way shopping or on their lunch break."
"She was just an innocent bystander. It's a dangerous city out here."
A 30-year-old innocent bystander was struck by a stray bullet to the leg around 2:15 p.m. Monday while shopping in front of Primark in Albee Square near Fulton Street in downtown Brooklyn. Witnesses initially mistook the gunshot for firecrackers before realizing a woman had been shot. The victim remained calm and appeared stunned, slowly rolling up her pant leg to reveal the injury. First responders quickly arrived at the crowded plaza and transported her to Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition and conscious and alert. The incident occurred in a busy shopping area during daytime hours.
