Photo shows bullet hole in scary shooting of NJ mom on Williamsburg Bridge
A chilling photo shows the hole that a bullet left in a New Jersey family’s car before grazing the mom and miraculously missing her 4-year-old daughter on the Williamsburg Bridge over the weekend.
The snapshot was released by the NYPD on Monday along with surveillance video that captured what it described as the “time and location of the incident,” although it wasn’t clear in the footage when the shot was fired or where the stray round came from.
The far-off footage includes the 21-year-old Elizabeth mom’s family car, a 2015 Dodge Dart, making a lane change in front of a dark four-door sedan Saturday night.
The woman’s husband was driving her — and their young daughter, who was in the back seat — just before 11 p.m. on the approach to the Manhattan-bound side of the span when they heard a gunshot, cops said.
The bullet struck the Dodge in the rear passenger door on the driver’s side and narrowly missed the little girl before it hit the headrest of the front passenger seat, cops said.
The woman then realized she was grazed on the back of the neck, police said.
Her husband, 24, turned his car around when he realized his wife had been shot and rushed her to Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, where she was treated and released, police said.
He told The Post on Sunday, “The bullet went through the skin in the back of her neck, in one side and out the other.
“It’s crazy what’s going on,” he added. “It’s like a war out there. I’m afraid to go out anymore.”
No arrests had been made by Monday in connection to the shooting.
