OAKLAND, Calif. — A 15-month-old girl was in the car with her family when she was caught in crossfire and shot in the stomach, according to police in Oakland, California.
The girl's family was driving home Monday evening, when they heard a"barrage of bullets" as they approached an intersection and took cover inside their car, Oakland police Lt. Seth Neri told reporters on Tuesday.
After they got home and she continued to cry, the family discovered her gunshot wound and drove to the nearest fire station, Neri said. Surveillance video showed the girl's family running from the car to a fire station, banging on the doors for help, according to San Francisco ABC station KGO.

Fans couldn't save the Oakland A'sI worry sometimes that writing about fans is amateurish. There's no news to be broken by quoting a member of the baseball hoi polloi. For some reason, we put more stock in the words of people who stand to profit from this whole enterprise than we do the opinions of those willing to part with their money just to participate.
