Bullet hit bystander near heart

THE QUEENS mom hit in the back by a stray gunshot in Brooklyn on Wednesday said the bullet missed her heart by 3 millimeters.

“Any closer and I don’t know what would have happened,” Eduvina Carrasco, 43, told the Daily News from her hospital bed in the surgical intensive care unit at Elmhurst Hospital on Thursday.

Carrasco was leaving a bakery near Myrtle Ave. by Harman St. in Bushwick when she stepped into the middle of a gunfight at about 4:30 p.m., authorities said.

“I was with my sister on the way to her apartment. There were two boys shooting at a car. And the car was shooting back," Carrasco said. “One boy was on the bicycle and the other one was walking. The guy in the car stuck his gun out and shot at them but hit me.”

Her sister shouted at her to run, and she replied, “No, I can’t! I think I’m hit!”

Surveillance video showed the Elmhurst woman staggering down the street.

“I’m very upset. My wife could have been killed. It's crazy,” said her husband, Secundino Carrasco, 40.

“The bullet is still in her. They haven't decided yet whether she will have surgery or have it in her for good. Thank God we got one more chance," he said.

Eduvina Carrasco — who has three children, ages 17, 15 and 8 — said she’s still in pain, and the shooting has left her too scared to sleep.

“It was scary. I can't stand even small noise,” she said. “I have dreams about being shot.”

Cops were still looking for the shooters.
