On Saturday night, 9-1-1 received a frantic call for help from a man saying his 7-year-old daughter had been shot in the head.

The little girl’s father said she had been shot after a heated argument occurred between him and passengers in another vehicle at the intersection. Several rounds had been fired into his car.
