The shooting took place after midnight at a residence on East 77th Street, near Donald Avenue, according to police.

An investigation by police indicated that the child’s aunt was handling a firearm before a round went off, and a shot went through the ceiling. The bullet traveled through the floor of a bedroom, ricocheted off a mirror and struck the child in the head, police said.

It is unknown if the woman has been charged as of Monday afternoon. Her age and identity were not released by police.
