Police have charged two 12-year-old boys for allegedly tossing a shopping cart off the fourth floor of a parking lot Sunday. The cart landed on the head of a 47-year-old mother, leaving her in critical condition.
The two boys were reportedly playing on a walkway that connects the East Harlem Target to a parking lot near East 116th Street and Pleasant Avenue (Gothamist has a photo here) when they dropped the shopping cart.
A witness told The New York Daily News , "Their friend was trying to stop it, saying 'Don't do it!'"
Marion Salmon Hedges was walking with her 14-year-old son outside the East Harlem Target when, according to police, the cart bounced off a sign and landed on her head.
She was taken to Harlem Hospital with severe head trauma and listed in critical but stable condition, The Wall Street Journal reports. Her son was not injured.
Well I guess you can say they hit their... Target!
I actually started this thread just so I could make that joke but feel free to discuss it anyway.

I really shouldn't laugh at this, but it is kind of funny.
