The girl was shot in the “upper extremities,” in the area of Northwest 21st Avenue and 64th Street, according to MDSO spokesperson Samantha Choon. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue took the girl to the hospital where deputies say she is now in stable condition.

“The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” Choon told reporters at the scene of the shooting. Neither the mom nor the other two children were injured.
