Girl, 11, Shot In Head While Sleeping Inside Detroit Home: Police

DETROIT — A girl was critically injured early Tuesday morning after she was shot in the head while sleeping inside a Detroit home, according to police.

The 11-year-old girl was sleeping on a coach at 4 a.m. in the front of a home in the 6000 block of Pennsylvania, near Interstate 94 and Gratiot Avenue, where a shooter(s) fired roughly 23 rounds into the house, according to police.

The girl was shot at least in the head and taken to Children's Hospital of Michigan, where she was listed in critical condition, according to police.

"Again, this morning, another senseless act," Detroit Assistant Police Chief Charles Fitzgerald said. "The house was full of people and they heard a bunch of shots coming from outside."

Investigators were still trying to determine if the girl lives in the home, according to police.

"The story doesn't make a whole lot of sense," Fitzgerald said. "We've got an uncle inside (the house) who doesn't quite know the name of his niece, we got a father who eventually showed up at the hospital."

Surveillance video showed two men getting out of a white or silver SUV that pulled up to the home and firing multiple shots into the house, according to police.

Investigators said a similar incident happened at the same house in December.

No other details were released Tuesday morning.

Anyone with information was asked to call Detroit Police or anonymously call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-Speak Up.
