The incident happened in the Fairmont-Claremont Village section of the borough at the intersection of Fox Street and Home Street.
"I hear about 4 or 5 gunshot on the corner of Fox...I don't know what happened," said witness Jesus Basutz.
Police are still looking for a man in his 2's who they said fired at least 8 bullets, one of which struck the girl as she left P.S. 150 and walked home. Several other bullets were lodged in a nearby home.
Authorities said it is unclear why the gunman opened fire, but that the child and her mother were not the intended targets.
