The family of three children shot on Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 27, says one child has died and two others are in the hospital after multiple gunshots were fired on their car.
According to police, a Honda Accord was sprayed with bullets, causing the woman driving to crash into a tree in front of a barbershop.
The barbershop owner, John Willis III, said everyone scattered as the gunfire rang out.
“You could still hear the shots though. Kids screaming, hollering. People running around with blood on them. It all happened so fast too,” said Willis.
Police say the woman, a pregnant mother, was uninjured, but her three children who were also in the car were all hit by the bullets.
All three boys were taken to the hospital, one with critical injuries and two with serious injuries. Family members confirmed to 9News that the oldest, a seven-year-old, has died. The ages of the other two children have not been released. According to the family, though, another one of the boys is awaiting surgery.
