Detroit police investigate shooting of five-year-old girl

A five-year-old girl was shot in the chest in Detroit, Michigan, on Saturday night during Halloween celebrations. The child was inside a back room of her residence after trick-or-treating when she was struck by a projectile.

The victim, who was still wearing her costume at the time, suffered a fractured clavicle and two broken ribs. She was transported to Children’s Hospital of Michigan, where she underwent surgery and was placed in the intensive care unit. While the child has since provided updates stating she is doing well, her discharge remains dependent on her ability to regain movement in her left arm.

The Detroit Police Department stated that investigators are making progress in the case, though no arrests have been made at this time.
