WASHINGTON — Police are investigating after a 12-year-old girl was shot in Southeast D.C. on Tuesday night.
DC Police responded to a shooting call around 8:30 p.m. in the 3000 block of 30th Street Southeast where they found a girl shot in her home.
Police said she was shot inside of the home, and the shooting appeared to be random. Police said they do not believe she was the intended target in the shooting.
The girl was conscious, breathing and alert when first responders arrived at the scene. She's currently is in "stable" condition, according to police.
"It's appalling; it's devastating to know that she was in her home and shot," said Commander Lashay Makal of DC Police's 7th District.
A GoFundMe page was created Wednesday to support the family.
