Mother Struck by Bullet Sitting in Park with Baby

In a park in Lexington, North Carolina, a nineteen-year-old mother was hit in the back by a bullet while sitting at a picnic table. Police say she will be OK, and the police captain noted that “…she had a small child in a stroller nearby her, so we are very thankful nobody else was hurt.” Police are interviewing witnesses, as they continue to investigate the shooting. “This does appear to be unintentional. She was not targeted, but … someone still needs to be held accountable for those actions,” said the captain.
