“My children were upstairs taking a bath when all of this broke out. When I went upstairs -- once the bullets got to ringing out -- I ran upstairs, I got her and she was under the bed. She was bloody, she didn’t have any clothes on because she had just got out of the tub,” said the child’s mother, Tiffany Garrett. “At first I thought I had blood all over me from my fiancé. I thought it was his because he got shot as well. So when I picked her up, she had blood all over her body.”
During the weekend Garrett’s 31-year-old fiancé was still in temporary serious condition, according to police. Police and Garrett said an altercation led to the shooting. As of Saturday the girl was still in critical condition.
