A young girl in San Francisco was rushed to the hospital yesterday evening after suffering a gunshot wound at her home on Chicago Way, a neighborhood on the southern end of the city.
Police say they responded around to the shooting around 5:24 p.m. When they got there, they found the girl, who NBC Bay Area reports to be only eight-years old, suffering from "life-threatening injuries."
Her father, who says she was struck while dinner was being prepared, believes it was a stray bullet that hit his daughter.
No updates on her condition have been released, and police officials urge anyone with information to contact their tip line as soon as possible.
