A 9-year-old girl was shot outside a Halloween party Saturday night in
Western Pennsylvania, taking a bullet to the shoulder from a male relative
who mistook her for a skunk.
The condition of the girl wasn’t released Sunday, but police in rural New
Sewickley Township said she was alert and talking as she was flown to a
hospital in Pittsburgh, 30 miles away.
Neither the girl nor her relative was identified.
She was spotted on a hillside around 8:30 p.m. wearing a black costume and
black hat with a white tassel, according to the Beaver County Times. The
relative who accidentally injured her was carrying a shotgun.
Police Chief Ronald Leindecker said the man wasn’t under the influence of
alcohol, and was unsure whether he would be charged.
