Girl, 4, is grazed by bullet in Inglewood
A 4-year-old girl caught in crossfire was grazed by a bullet today in Inglewood, police said.
Three men were shooting at someone inside a car in the 1200 block of North Centinela Avenue about 12:40 p.m. when the girl was hit by gunfire, said Lt. Mike Marshall of the Inglewood Police Department.
She was wounded in the head and taken to a hospital, where she was in stable condition, Marshall said.
Inglewood police are searching for the suspects, who police believe are no longer in the area.

this is why all gang members should be rounded up and put in a prison camp in the middle of the desert away from everyone

You should go take a walk through Inglewood. You might notice that we do live in a war torn country.

It is sickening, a little girl being shot down in broad daylight like this. Thank god no other children were hit by stray gunfire because it happened right next to a nursery school. These idiots, they wonder why the have the police on there backs.

This is the collateral effect of gang activity. However, heaven forbid Inglewood PD step up enforcement, they may have to use force against a gangster, and then they're the bad guy, according to the media and the gangster's relatives. Does this type of activity surprise anyone?

Cops are human too. There is only so much they can do to stop the violences. Too tough or too soft they get sued. Maybe the national guard should come.

Didn't the PD in Inglewood murder/execute 3 innocent citizens in about the past 15 months?
