Yesterday afternoon, around 4 p.m., a 63-year-old woman was shot in the leg near 112th Street and Third Avenue. WABC 7 reports, "Police say the 63-year-old victim was shot once in the leg by a bullet intended for another target." While the victim did not have life-threatening injuries, unfortunately daylight shootings with bystanders caught in the crossfire are not uncommon: Last month, two 60-something women were shot when they stepped out of a building on St. Nicholas Avenue and West 113th.
