Detroit Police Chief James White says that the girl was grazed in the back by a bullet in a drive-by shooting, but is expected to make a full recovery.
"We are on the ground pulling video from a variety of different sources," Chief White said. "We're pretty confident we're going to bring closure to the situation, it's very unfortunate and very unnecessary for whomever is having a problem with someone in the hole to put a child at risk who should have the peace and safety of getting ready for school like any child."
Detroit police are working to make an arrest in this case. The car in question fled the scene moments after firing the shots.
