A shattered Bronx family is making funeral arrangements after a 16-year-old girl was fatally struck by a stray bullet while riding her scooter.
'They took her away from us. They took her away from me,' the grieving grandmother of teen Evette Jeffrey told The Post Tuesday.
'It's so much,' her grandmother said through tears. 'I still have to go to school. They probably know because it was released last night. I still have to go.'
