The man tried to enter 1015 Fox Street when the scooter passed him. That’s when he started running in the opposite direction.

Police said at one point, the passenger on the scooter fired shots at the man.

One of the bullets struck the Kyhara in the abdomen about a half-block away on Fox Street.

“You can’t just move on from seeing something like that,” Johnson told local ABC affiliate .

Johnson said she was getting her nails done on Monday afternoon when the gunshots rang out.

“We didn't know where it was, we didn't know if it was like her leg or her chest until we zipped down and we saw the wound, the wound on her stomach,” said Maya Jones, who was also at the salon.

“And then she ended up passing out on the floor.”

"This is very very difficult for us to accept," NYPD Deputy Chief Timothy McCormack said after the shooting.

"This is the second child that's shot in this borough this year. An 11-month-old and now an 11-year-old."

NYPD Crime Stoppers posted on Twitter late Monday, urging anyone with information about the suspects to call police.
