A 15-year-old girl was shot in the head while she was in her bed around 2 a.m. Friday. She was pronounced dead on the scene.
Several others were inside the home, located in the 4000 block of Cottonwood Road, when the shooting happened. The teen's 61-year-old uncle was also shot in the leg.
Police believe the shooting is either gang related and/or was done in retaliation. They also believe the house was the intended target; they are not sure whether the shooter intended to hit people inside.
Neighbors told MPD officers they heard at least 25 rounds of gunfire. One neighbor believes it was a drive-by shooting.
No suspect information has been released and no arrests have been made.
The 61-year-old man was taken to Regional Medical Center in critical condition.
