The sister of an innocent 12-year-old girl shot in possible gang crossfire as people shouted, “Ewok!” at a Bronx park said Tuesday that her stricken sibling phoned her moments after to tell her, “I got shot.”
“She was scared when she called me,” Miral Alamouri, 14, told The Post of her younger sister.
“She was like, ‘I got shot. Oh, I’m scared,’ and I’m trying to keep her awake because you don’t want her to go to sleep and get into a coma.
“So I’m just talking to her, keeping her awake.
“It’s so crazy to get that call,” said Miral, whose family did not want to release a photo of the wounded child, explaining they are afraid.
“That’s not a call you would expect from your sibling. I had just left her minutes prior to that.”
“Obviously, I’m in shock,” said Miral, who explained she and her sister had separated because the younger girl wanted to meet friends at the park.
“I’m just praying for her to be fine. That’s my little sister, and her birthday is about to be in a few days.
“I just want them to stop giving children or young adults access to weapons because they don’t know how to use them,’’ Miral said. “They keep using it to target people, shoot people.
“It’s always the wrong person at the wrong time and that shouldn’t be happening.
“You go to the park to sit there and play with your friends, not to get shot,” the teen said.
The 12-year-old took bullets to her stomach and right foot in front of a building on Tratman Avenue between Rowland Street and St. Peters Avenue in Westchester Square in The Bronx around 8:30 p.m. Monday, according to the NYPD.
The people involved in the shooting were masked, Miral said, quoting her sister.
Miral said her sister already had surgery on her abdomen, where doctors found holes in her colon from the bullet.
“Her right foot is fractured, so they’re gonna have to do surgery on that. They are waiting for her stomach to be fine before they get started on her leg,’’ the older sister said.
Cops have not revealed a motive or suspects in the shooting.
