CLINTON TWP, Mich. - A pregnant Clinton Township woman who was shot in the stomach on her way to work Thursday morning is expected to be okay, and she just gave birth to a healthy baby girl.
"That baby's going to be a strong baby," chuckled Miss Pat. "They're both going to be alright. That's all I care about, both of them are going to be alright."
However, it was only hours ago that Miss Pat and Aisha Moore, the woman who was shot, weren't so sure things would be alright.
Prior to Jan. 16, Moore's Facebook page was filled with photos of her pregnancy. Including ultrasounds and posts revealing an excited first-time mom-to-be.

Pregnant woman who was shot expected to be okay
Following an incident where a Clinton Township woman who was pregnant was randomly shot early Thursday morning is expected to be okay. She also gave birth to a healthy baby girl.
Then, around 7 a.m. while the 31-year-old Moore was walking to her car on her way to work, she was shot after someone walked up to her. The incident happened near 16 Mile and Harper, at the Eastwood Village Apartments.
"It sounded like cars crashing or something. The first thing she said was 'Miss Pat, help me. I've been shot,'" said Pat.
Pat lives in the same building as Moore. After she heard banging on her door, she saw Moore bleeding from her stomach. She recalled Moore saying 'oh my god, not my baby.'
The victim was already on the phone with 911 when Pat opened the door. She said she didn't know the man that had walked up to her with a gun and fired.
"She said 'don't do this, please don't do this' or something to that effect," Pat said. "She said she just fell down and played dead and they ran off."
"She said she never saw the person before in her life - she did say that," added Pat.
