A 4-year-old girl was wounded in a broad daylight shooting Saturday afternoon in New York City’s Times Square.

Skye Martinez of Brooklyn was at the famous site to buy toys when a man who was involved in an argument fired wildly, hitting three innocent victims, according to the New York Post.

“None of us knew what was gonna happen and then it’s like, why did it have to be her? Because she’s 4 years old,” the New York Daily News quoted the girl’s 16-year-old aunt as saying. “Like why there, how could you? It’s just so many people there. Do you not care about any other people?”

“How many kids have to get shot before we take this seriously?” NYPD Commissioner Shea said, according to WABC.

“How many more kids do we need to be shot before we realize that bad policies have consequences and we need action and we need policies regarding laws that have consequences,” he said.

“When is this going to end?” Shea said. “How many more people have to be injured, pushed in front of a train, or in this case, a young 4-year-ol — toy shopping — shot.”

Police released a video of the man wanted in connection with the shooting.

The incident began shortly before 5 p.m. on Saturday with an argument
