Catherine Arias, a 1-year-old girl who was shot in the face by a stray bullet in the Bronx in January left the hospital on Friday.
A 1-year-old girl who was shot in the face in the Bronx in January was finally released from the hospital on Friday.A baby girl who was just 11 months old when she was struck in the face by a stray bullet in January was released from a hospital Friday after relearning how to talk and walk.
Catherine Arias walked out of Blythedale Children’s Hospital in Valhalla in Westchester County with her father and mother, who called the now 16-month-old their "beautiful miracle baby." Police officers outside applauded as the family exited the building. "Our journey has been long, but finally this is the light at the end of the tunnel," her mother, Miraida Gomez, said. "We’re definitely happy, we’re eager to start this new chapter in our life, and just happy that everyone is able to witness a miracle."The shooting happened in January, two days before Catherine's first birthday.
She was struck by a stray bullet from a gunman who was firing at someone else. Catherine was sitting in a parked car with her mother when the shooting happened and a bullet struck her in the cheek and exited from the top of her head, causing a brain injury and leaving half her body paralyzed. The shooting was one in a string of high-profile crimes that occurred in the weeks after Mayor Eric Adams took office promising a safer city and led to calls to reduce gun violence.
