4 Jul
Summary
- An 11-year-old girl is recovering after being shot in the head.
- She was shot in a McDonald's parking lot due to a dispute.
- The girl is expected to be released from the hospital soon.
An 11-year-old girl is making a remarkable recovery nearly a week after being shot in the head at a Hallandale Beach McDonald's. She is close to being released from Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital.
The traumatic event unfolded last weekend when the girl was with her father and siblings in their car. Surveillance footage revealed a man firing shots at another individual, but the bullets instead penetrated the family's car window, hitting the 11-year-old in the head and her father in the hip. Her younger siblings were unharmed.
Doctors successfully treated the girl for severe brain trauma, though she will need weeks of occupational and speech therapy. Her parents expressed immense gratitude to the medical professionals and law enforcement for saving her life. The accused shooter has been arrested, with police indicating he was involved in a dispute with a group from Miramar.
