    Cops were reviewing surveillance videos Monday as they tried to find a drive-by shooter who wounded six people on Sunday, including a 2-year-old girl, officials said.

    Police think the gunman, who shot out of the passenger side window of a Volkswago Jetta in Brownsville, was trying to aim for an unidentified 17-year-old, and that the shooting was gang-related.

    Two-year-old Ariyanna Prince and Kentrell Simpson, 13, were still at Brookdale University Hospital Monday, according to a spokeswoman, who said they were "doing well" after being treated for bullet wounds. The other victims had either been discharged or were in stable condition, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said.

    Crime Stoppers is offering a $12,000 reward for info that could lead cops to the shooter.
