MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Dozens of people gathered outside a hospital in Robbinsdale Sunday to pray for a young girl who was shot in the head while playing with other children in a Minneapolis neighborhood.
Police say 9-year-old Trinity Ottoson-Smith remains in critical condition at North Memorial Health Hospital. She was shot Saturday night while bouncing on a trampoline in the Jordan neighborhood, the Star Tribune reported.
The shooter was in a red four-door Ford vehicle that drove away after firing at a residence, police said.
“She didn’t deserve it. She was doing what innocent kids do,” said Raishawn Smith, Trinity’s father. “She was caught in the crossfire of senseless violence.”
