It's good to me. The search continues
for the person responsible for firing a gun
that struck a child who had just returned home from trick-or-treating
on Halloween night. Fox 2's Ingrid Kelly with that story.
It was supposed to be a joyous time.
A five-year-old just wraps up trick-or-treating
activities on Halloween, but suddenly she realizes she's been shot.
We had a call about 9 p.m. to respond
to Children's Hospital with a five-year-old being shot.
Investigators say the shooting took place
at a home on Iroquois near Van Dyke and Gratiot.
Still a preliminary investigation,
but from everything we were able to uncover,
it looks like there were shots fired into the house.
At the time, the five year old, she was in the back room playing.
She had just got finished trick or treating.
But instead of enjoying her sweet treats,
she started calling out for help for our victims.
She was in her Halloween costume. She had to tell her mom.
She said, I think I've been shot. The mom was in the shower,
had to come down and rush her child here. This is just.
Something senseless.
Police say it appears the child will survive her injuries.
She was non-fatally shot,
so she's in stable condition, which is a blessing,
but it could have been much worse.
Just want the individual to know who's responsible for this.
We will find you, and we're coming for you.
Detroit police are still investigating and need answers.

contact police or Crimestoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.
