"Paytton King, a freshman at Grace H. Dodge Career and Technical School, was struck by a stray bullet from scooter-riding teens who have been terrorizing the Bronx apartment complex. Her grandmother has pleaded for police intervention as Paytton undergoes surgery for severe injuries, including a shattered pelvis. Despite being part of a local violence prevention program, she was unintentionally caught in a violent act that reflects larger issues with youth crime in the area."
"Her grandma, Pamela King, expressed frustration over repeated calls to the police about these 'bad boys' riding scooters and shooting in the area. Despite multiple reports earlier in the day, police did not respond until after her granddaughter was shot. 'They just do it all the time,' she lamented, highlighting the sense of helplessness surrounding the ongoing violence and calls for urgent action from authorities to address the safety crisis in the neighborhood."
