INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) — A 9-year-old girl was shot and wounded Friday during a rolling gun battle between two vehicles in Independence, Missouri, police said.
The Independence Police Department said in a Facebook post that its officers responded to numerous calls of shots fired shortly before 8 p.m.
The wounded girl and her mother were dropped off by the driver of one of the involved vehicles at a Walmart in Kansas City, just south of the area where gunshots had been reported.
The injured girl is believed to have been in one of the involved vehicles when she was shot, police said. The girl is being treated at an area hospital. Police did not immediately respond to questions about her condition.
Police are looking four persons of interest in connection with the shooting.
