At least 12 people were shot during a bloody six-hour period across the Big Apple Sunday night, including an innocent 13-year-old girl and her mom and a woman walking her dog.
Two others were also stabbed in separate incidents as the bloodshed spanned all five boroughs.
The young girl and her 46-year-old mom, who are from San Antonio, Texas, were standing inside a store at Southern Boulevard and Jennings Street in The Bronx when they were struck by gunfire just before 9 p.m., police and sources said.
The mother-daughter duo, who appeared to be innocent bystanders, were both in a stable condition, police said. The mom was grazed in the chest and her daughter took a bullet to her hand, according to sources.
Around the same time, a 22-year-old woman walking her dog was shot in the leg just blocks away from the store near the corner of Bristow Street and Jennings Street.
That victim also appeared to be struck by a stray bullet, cop said, adding that the two shootings appeared to be connected.
The gunman was on a Citibike and was “shooting all over the place” as he tried to aim at a fleeing car, a police source told The Post. No arrests have been made.
Just hours earlier, a 74-year-old woman was struck in the stomach by an apparent stray bullet in East New York in Brooklyn, cops said.
The woman was sitting in the courtyard of the Louis Heaton Pink Houses at around 6:36 p.m. when she heard gunfire and felt a bullet pierce her stomach. She was taken to Brookdale Hospital where she remains in a critical condition, cops said.
Meanwhile, a 16-year-old boy was one of four people shot in Brownsville at around 8:24 p.m. when a fight broke out

Lord help.
Has NYC considered passing a law to make such activity illegal?
Is the dog ok?
Clarify CITIBIKE”, please.
The Mayor first needs to find out what people like JayZ, Erykah, Cardi-B and Don Lemon think about it.
Which Governmental agency supplies the guns to the streets?
Now HOW could that happen?
Felons in New York City are back on the street 3 hours before the cops can do all the arrest paperwork.
Why anyone, from San Antonio, TX, would be in NYC these days, is baffling....ESPECIALLY at a store, in the Bronx!!
Oh, and a cop car was hit with a bullet....but, TPTB are saying it wasn’t targeted.
This filthy city is in a complete tailspin.
Electric”share bike” rental.
Grimly funny but it is human nature to want to protect animals (among us good people I mean). Yes, we wish we could help people but the corrupt, decayed system of "justice" is so horrendous that criminals get let out, cops get sued for bring anti-woke and no one is safe. NOT OUR FAULT---it's the Dems near us all. Don't be so compassionate toward the Dems---they hate you and me and won't hesitate to congratulate themselves when we get sent to gulags----"They supported Trump and they deserve it."
STOP BEING STUPID.
My second reply. When Norman Mailer was walking his dog in the 1960s one night when two punks on the side of the sidewalk as he went by said "Hey, I think your dog looks gay." Mailer: He's not." Punk: "I think you look gay, too."
They two rushed him and knocked him down. They gouged his eyes and brutally beat him although he had done runs and gym workouts and even sparred in the ring with a professional boxer. He recovered but had eye trouble for a while.
During the beating, one punk at a time held the dog's leash. At the end they let the dog leash go and left.
A big nothingburger compared to Chicago.
The bullet goes where the weapon is aimed, pretty closely.
Condolences to family and friends of the innocent victims.
