12-year-old girl shot as bullets fly at home

ATLANTA - A 12-year-old girl and a woman were shot in their legs, after at least one gunman fired numerous bullets at their home on Church Street NW.

The ordeal happened Friday night around 11 p.m. Neighbors said they heard a hail of bullets ring out for some time, then a car speed away from the scene.

The family's dog was also shot.

Police said the girl and the woman were rushed to the hospital in stable condition.

The family did not return to the home Saturday afternoon, as FOX 5 News came back to the scene of the crime. No word from investigators if the shooting was random or the home was targeted.

Neighbors said shootings in the area are an unfortunate and dangerous problem.

"I'm scared to come out at night. That's all they do around here, really... shoot," said neighbor Vickie Hammond.
