Armando Bigo (the small boy pictured holding his shoulder) was standing in the store with his mother when a random bullet hit him in the left shoulder. Police say the boy was not a target. He is recovering in a local hospital. The shooting of little Armando is just one of several recent shootings that have involved young children nationwide. Last week, a 9-month-old baby was shot dead in Detroit, making it the second child to die by gunfire in the Motor City this year.

New York Police Department Commissioner Ray Kelly says that 94 percent of shooting victims in the city from last year were black or Latino.
