A young girl and other people on a New York street were caught on camera running for cover last week when a man opened fire in the Bronx.
Police say the alleged incident happened at approximately 2 p.m. on Feb. 22.
According to authorities, the suspect walked up to a group of people before taking out a gun and aiming it at one of the group’s members, ABC News reports.
He fired three rounds, which prompted people to flee as seen in a video provided by police.

The video shows a young girl run down an alleyway and up a flight of stairs nearby, while another woman heads up the same stairs and comforts the girl, NBC reports.
“My heart dropped when I saw the little girl running for her life,” Awilda Cordero told NBC-affiliate News 4. “She was so smart because she saw him shooting and the first thing she did, she turned around and just started running.”
The suspect is still at large and has not been arrested at this time. They also said they believe the incident may have been gang-related.
No one was injured in the incident.
