A video has emerged that shows a person firing a gun toward a rowhouse in Wilmington's Little Italy neighborhood on Monday evening, and a 5-year-old girl running away after a bullet grazed her right ankle.

The girl, who lives near the targeted home, is in good condition, according to a relative who did not want to be named.

"Thank god," the relative said. "But I had so much anger, and I still do."

In the minutes before the shooting — which occurred around 5 p.m. Monday, according to police — children captured in the video can be seen playing on a sidewalk near the 1900 block of Fifth Street.

One boy chases a football that had tumbled off the sidewalk in front of the homes and into the residential street. It was a normal scene on the block, said numerous neighbors.

The News Journal has blurred the faces of everyone in the video except for the shooter. The News Journal also is not revealing the source of the video.

Seconds before the suspect appears on the video, two people in reddish-orange shirts can be seen walking into the targeted home.

The suspect then comes into frame, running west down Fifth Street past the children.

He points a pistol at the porch of the rowhome and fires.

The children rush inside a nearby home, including the 5-year-old victim, who was hit by a ricocheting bullet, the relative said. The suspect then fled down Union Street, witnesses said.

People who live at the targeted home on Tuesday declined to comment. Bullet damage was visible on their window, door and siding.

A resident of the neighborhood who had been walking north on nearby Lincoln Street, told The News Journal on Monday that he heard at least seven shots just after 5 p.m.

“I heard boom (pause), boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,” said the neighbor, who declined to provide his name for fear of retaliation.

Police officers were directed to the victim's house and found the girl with a “gunshot graze wound to her lower, right leg area,” according to a statement from Wilmington Police.

The child was treated at her home by New Castle County Paramedics and taken to St. Francis Hospital in good condition.

After the suspect fled, an hour-long manhunt commenced between Lincoln and Scott streets, about two blocks from the initial shooting scene.

A police helicopter circled the area for more than an hour as police searched the backyards of houses that face Scott Street.

Between 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., segments of Fifth, Lincoln and Scott streets were closed by crime scene tape. Dozens of neighbors watched from porches and from behind windows as the various police activities unfolded.

Anthony Truono, from Newport, was arriving at a house on Lincoln Street a little after 5 p.m. when he saw police officers running, he said.

“I’m not even from this area but shootings are just horrible, especially on a holiday.”

The incident was the fourth shooting in Wilmington over the Labor Day weekend. Two were fatal.

There have been at least 144 victims of shootings in the city in 2017, with 24 fatalities, according to records kept by The News Journal. There were 145 shooting victims during all of 2016 — 21 of those were fatal.

The suspect remains on the loose, according to police.

The victim's relative hopes the shooter turns himself in, not wanting anybody to take retribution against him.

He doesn’t want to see another victim of a gun crime in Wilmington.

But if the relative sees him, "l'll still whoop his ass.”
