Girl shot inside home when street fight breaks out in southeast Fresno
A 12-year-old girl was shot when a bullet went through her home’s front door from a street fight in southeast Fresno, police said.
Investigators believe the fight broke out shortly before 9:30 p.m. Wednesday on Barton Avenue south of Church Avenue. The fight escalated and someone fired the bullet that unintentionally hit the girl.
The girl was hit her in her upper torso, according to Lt. Bill Dooley.
She was rushed to Community Regional Medical Center, where she was listed in critical but stable condition.
“She is conscious and talking, doing the best she can based upon what she is going through right now,” said Dooley, who was at the hospital when the girl was brought in.
Police don’t believe anyone at the home was involved in the fight.
Police did not have any suspects Wednesday night, but investigators were talking with several witnesses.
