Detectives say gunfire rang out on Lincoln Avenue in the city's Lincoln-Lemington-Belmar neighborhood around 6:40 Thursday night, hitting the 4-year-old and her mom. Police say one of them was shot inside the Brooklyn Food Mart.

Thirty evidence markers could be seen scattered on the ground outside the store. 

Police said the shooters took off in unknown directions, which sparked an intense search for potentially multiple gunmen. Neighboring police departments were called in to help comb the area with K-9s and drones.

Both Lewis and Thompson were left in critical condition. 

Police are asking anyone with information about the shooting to come forward.
