A 2-year-old girl was in stable condition Monday after being shot in the stomach when gunfire interrupted a weekend block party.
Police responded to a call that an unknown male was firing a gun on the 4600 block of North 12th Street at 9:17 p.m. Saturday, Officer Christine O'Brien said. The gunman was firing from behind parked cars on the street, which was blocked off for the party, a witness told police. As of Monday, nobody had been arrested in the shooting, O'Brien said.
The child entered Einstein Medical Center in critical condition on Saturday and was transferred to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children after her condition stabilized, O'Brien said. The girl's name was not released and an official from St. Christopher's was unable to provide further information on her condition.
Three adults were also injured in the shooting: a 22-year-old male was shot in the left calf; a 30-year-old male was shot in one hand; and a 24-year-old male sustained a graze wound to one leg.
