Kids dive for cover in brazen broad daylight shooting caught on video

BRONX, NEW YORK CITY -- A 24-year-old was shot by a suspect who opened fire inches away from children diving for safety in the Bronx, police said.

The incident was reported around 6:45 p.m. on Thursday in front of 1551 Sheridan Ave. The children, a 10-year-old girl and her 5-year-old brother, miraculously avoided being shot as the gunman opened fire on his intended target, the 24-year-old man.

The victim was struck in the leg and back and taken to the hospital, where he is expected to survive.
