Moment a father was shot in the leg as he tried to shield his three young children from a gunman who opened fire inside a car dealership in the Bronx.
The shooting took place at around 7.20pm on Monday at On The Road Automotive in the Eastchester neighborhood.
Video obtained by DailyMail.com showed the 39-year-old dad and his children sitting on a couch inside the used car shop when a man in a black hoodie ran up and began firing through an open glass door.
The dad immediately scooped up his kids and dove to the floor, attempting to block them from a barrage of bullets with his body.
Seconds later a door shattered, sending a shards of glass flying around the showroom as the family crawled to safety.
The dad, who has not been publicly identified, was struck in the thigh by one of the bullets, police sources told DailyMail.com.
He was transported to Jacobi Medical Center and is said to be in stable condition.
Several other customers were seen milling around the dealership when the gunshots rang out, sending them running for cover.
Police said they’re searching for two suspects, one of whom carjacked a vehicle immediately after the shooting.
The car, a four-door green sedan, was stopped at a red light just outside when the perpetrator approached, opened the door and pointed a gun at the 49-year-old driver, ordering him to get out.
Investigators believe the shooting is gang-related.
