7-year old girl shot 6 times saving mother
Girl, 7, shot 6 times saving mom
Norman Sinclair, Santiago Esparza and Jennifer Mrozowski / The Detroit News
DETROIT -- A 7-year-old-girl is being hailed as an "angel from heaven" and a hero for jumping in front of an enraged gunman, who pumped six bullets into the child as she used her body as a shield to save her mother's life.
Alexis Goggins, a first-grader at Campbell Elementary School, is in stable condition at Children's Hospital in Detroit recovering from gunshot wounds to the eye, left temple, chin, cheek, chest and right arm.
"She is an angel from heaven," said Aisha Ford, a family friend for 15 years who also was caught up in the evening of terror.

It almost reminds me of that scene from the movie "Crash" with the impenetrable cloak. Such a touching scene...

Before Tillie could fire again, Alexis jumped over the seat between her mother and the gunman and begged him not to shoot her mother.
The police report said Tillie "without hesitation" pumped six shots into the child.

Ford said she dialed 911 on her cell phone as she walked into the station.
"The first operator clicked off and I dialed again and told that operator a guy with a gun was holding me hostage with a mother and baby and threatening to kill us. I told her the name of the gas station and then she said they didn't have a unit to send."
|
So wait - you call 911 and explain a homicidal psychopath is holding you hostage and is going to KILL you and a mother and a CHILD - and they have no units to send???? It's like, 'oh yeh, sorry, you might die but um, sh** happens. Good luck!' wth  |

It's awful what this guy did, but look at the amazing courage and display of love of this little girl in trying to protect her mother.

I'm not too familiar with ammo. Still, she was lucky. From what I know, a 9mm in the right place can be enough. Those things can ricochet like crazy in the body (especially the skull).
