Shot tot’s mom ‘living’ at hospital as girl struggles in drug-induced coma

The mother of a 5-year-old girl shot by a teenage Bronx neighbor sat by her little girl’s hospital bedside this morning unable to fathom what has happened.

“All I’m thinking about is my baby getting better,” said Gloria Miranda, who has been with little Hailey Dominguez at New York Presbyterian Morgan Stanley’s Children Hospital since she was brought there early Sunday.

“I’ve been living here since she got here. She has been having a fever [so] they’re limiting who can come and visit.

“They’re keeping her asleep,” she said, meaning that doctors had put the child in a medically-induced coma as she underwent at least three surgeries.

“They removed a tube from her mouth and they left two [tubes] in her nose. They are doing a sonogram of her stomach.”

As the stoic mom sat vigil, the stone-faced teen gunman Angel Morales, 18, was on Riker’s Island on an attempted murder charge.

Cops arrested him almost immediately after the Hughes Avenue street shooting aimed at three men in retaliation for an earlier fist fight.

Morales fired three shots, one striking the innocent child as she, her mom and two other siblings arrived home in a taxi from a baby shower at 1 a.m.

But Miranda had no time to think about the thug who put a bullet in her little girl.

“I have mixed emotions about it. I am confused. I can’t tell you how I feel right now. “
