A 9-year-old girl was playing with friends on the sidewalk outside her home in Woodbridge, Virginia when she was struck by a stray bullet. The bullet was fired by a 15-year-old boy who was shooting at a car driving through the apartment complex.
The shooting was captured on a neighbor's security camera. The video shows the children playing on the sidewalk when a silver car enters the parking lot, drives by and then stops, reverses and turns around, heading towards a groups of boys walking on the other side of the parking lot. One of the boy pulls out a gun and fires three times and the car drives off. The 9-year-old girl falls to the ground and starts screaming, "I can't feel my legs!"
The girl was rushed to the hospital were she underwent multiple surgeries. She suffered from a partially collapsed lung and damaged liver. The bullet lodged in her spine. She was listed in critical condition.
Police arrested a 15-year-old male who was charged with aggravated malicious wounding, attempted malicious wounding, shooting at an occupied vehicle and gun charges. Police did not identify the teen nor did they say where the 15-year-old got the gun.
Every illegal gun starts out as a legal gun.
