Pictures show men allegedly involved in shooting that left 5-year-old hurt in the Bronx

A Bronx neighborhood was on edge Wednesday night after a 5-year-old girl was grazed on the ear by a stray bullet.

Police said the gunfire erupted at around 5:30 p.m. in the Longwood section, outside a deli and juice bar on Southern Boulevard.

The girl was taken to the hospital and is expected to be okay.

A witness told CBS News New York he ducked for cover between two parked cars.

"When I see the gun, I move. That's it," the witness said. "Yeah, everybody they scared, everybody. I don't want to die, you know?"

The NYPD is asking the public for help identifying the individuals wanted in connection with the incident. They said they are looking for three men with dark complexions.
