A 15-month-old boy was critically hurt when an unknown gunman opened fire on the child’s Hudson Valley home, police said.
The terrifying episode unfolded Friday night at a house on Holmes Street in Monticello, roughly two hours north of Manhattan in Sullivan County.
A mysterious shooter approached the single-family home just after 10 p.m., unleashing “multiple rounds … from the outside and into” the house, according to Lt. Mark Johnstone of the Village of Monticello Police Department.
The baby, along with his 20-year-old mom and a man, 27, were struck, police said.
Authorities did not specify the injuries but said the boy was flown by Medevac to Westchester Medical Center.
The young mom and the man were rushed by ambulance to Garnet Orange Medical Center, where the man was listed in stable condition, Johnstone said. The woman was treated and released, he said.
“No suspect information is available at this time,” Johnstone said.
