A 14-year old girl was the victim of a random act of gun violence on Saturday after a gunman opened fire when a city bus was stopped at a traffic light. <\/p>\n

The gunman fired ten shots into the bus, one of which hit Deja Robinson in the head. New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly commented on the girl’s tragic death, saying, \u201cTerrible \u2013 this is, as I say, another senseless shooting.”<\/p>\n

It appears that the gunman–who was outside the bus while it was stopped on Sutphin Blvd. in Jamaica–was not targeting the girl specifically. Robinson was coming home from a friend’s Sweet 16 party, and officials have interviewed other attendees who say there was no altercation that would have led to the shooting.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing is clear \u2014 she was not, in our judgment, the target of the shooting,\u201d Kelly said.<\/p>\n

So far, no arrests have been made, but witnesses describe the shooter as a male, between 18 and 25 years old, wearing a black sweater. Now, Robinson’s family and friends are left to mourn the young life of a girl who was doing nothing more than riding the bus home. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe was a good kid, she didn’t deserve this,\u201d neighborhood resident Kenny Brown said.<\/p>\n

Sadly, Robinson is the latest in a string of accidental gunshot victims this year. In February, two teen girls<\/a> in Chicago were in the wrong place at the wrong time and were hit by stray bullets. Both died from their wounds.<\/p>\n
