DETROIT, MI - A 3-year-old girl was shot in the head Saturday and in critical condition after she was caught in an armed conflict involving two males at a gas station.
Detroit police had a suspect in custody, Assistant Chief Arnold Williams said at a press conference posted on the department Facebook page.
Just before 2 p.m. Saturday, the girl was in a vehicle with her mother at a station in the area of Puritan and Livernois avenues.
Two males, who were acquainted, had gotten into a "verbal altercation" inside the business. It continued outside and the two started fighting. This escalated to the point one of them went to a vehicle, retrieved a gun and started firing, Williams told reporters.
