Mother shot dead while pushing stroller in New York, days after Supreme Court struck down state’s major gun law
A young mother walking with her baby in New York was shot and killed after a gunman attacked her from behind, authorities say.
At about 8:30pm on Wednesday night, near Lexington and East 95th Street, a 20-year-old woman pushing her months-old child in a stroller was approached from behind by a hooded gunman, who then fired one fatal shot into the back of her head, police say.
The shocking murder came just days after the Supreme Court struck down a New York law that requires people to demonstrate a particular need for carrying a gun in order to get a license to carry one in public. The justices said the requirement violates the Second Amendment right to “keep and bear arms.”
