The girl died at a hospital after Friday’s shooting at a subdivision. Police said witnesses saw a mask-wearing suspect run from the shooting scene.
A neighbor, Megan Cinder, told WWBT-TV said she heard people down the street yelling, “Gunman!”
“My son was crying because he was scared. You just don’t think that’s going to happen out here,” she said.
