Girl Scout shooting: 9-year-old Sinai Miller shot in the leg on her way to sell girl scout cookies

  • 9 years ago
A 9-year-old girl is recovering after a stray bullet hit her in the leg while she was on her way to sell Girl Scout cookies with her little sister.

The shooting occurred just outside Sinai Miller’s home.

“They walked outside the door, and they didn’t even get to make it across the lot and then the shots start ringing out,” said Mark Chandler, Sinai’s mother’s boyfriend.

Shanita Miller, Sinai’s mother, said she was zipping up her other daughter’s coat when she heard gunshots outside the door. She brought the two girls inside, and Sinai ran past her.

“She started screaming and hollering, ‘Mommmy, it hurt, it hurt!’” Shanita Miller told the Indianapolis Star.

Sinai was taken to a nearby children’s hospital, where doctors said the bullet missed her bone and major artery.

The young girl is now recovering at home.

Police said they are looking for the driver of a blue Ford expedition linked to the shooting. Witnesses said they saw a hand with a gun poke out of the vehicle’s window.

Another bullet struck a nearby apartment door.

“The type of community this is, it’s kid friendly,” one neighbor told local reporters.
