The girl remains in intensive care at a local hospital, police say.
Officers were called around 6:40 p.m. to the 15300 block of Gatehouse Terrace, where they found the girl suffering from a gunshot wound, police said.
Newsham said an investigation revealed that a group of teenage males, possibly juveniles, were walking in the area when one opened fire at a car. Multiple shots were fired and one of the bullets struck the girl. The vehicle was also hit.Newsham said investigators were able to locate the driver of the car, but he revealed little about a motive for the shooting. The chief said one theory is that there was an existing dispute between the driver and the group of males.
“I think it goes to the belief by some in the community that it’s okay to discharge a firearm in our community,” the chief said. “We need to change that.”The video shows five children playing on a sidewalk in a townhouse development, as four individuals in black walk up a parallel sidewalk on the far side of a parking lot.
