Elderly woman caught in crossfire during thugs’ shootout

Two goons accidentally shot an 85 year old woman while aiming for a group of men in Washington Heights, cops said.

At around 1:30 p.m., the victim was walking through the intersection of West 178th Street and Audubon Avenue, where the two thugs opened fire on the other group. In a tragic turn of events, the elderly woman was caught in the cross fire and hit once in the leg.

The two punks fled after shooting the innocent bystander, although cops found one man and took him into custody.

The woman was taken to Harlem Hospital and is listed in stable condition.
