A 7-year-old was shot in New York City on Monday following a bloody weekend that saw 29 people wounded from gunfire.

The girl was standing near an intersection in Brooklyn just after 3 p.m. with her 28-year-old mother when they heard gunshots, the New York Police Department told Fox News. The pair fled to their apartment for safety, the NYPD said. 

Around 2.5 hours later, the girl began complaining of minor pain.

Nine people were injured from gunfire on Friday, 13 on Saturday and seven on Sunday in 24 shooting incidents, the NYPD said. Three people were killed over the same time frame, the NYPD said.

"Our courageous and dedicated NYPD officers are doing exactly what we asked them to do right out of the gate," Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said in a Monday press conference. "They're going after and finding the relatively small number of criminals in our city who are responsible for the vast amount of violence in this city."
