A man who police had been searching for and is accused of shooting an 11-year-old Antioch girl in the head is now behind bars. The girl's parents say she is still in critical condition.
Police have released details on the suspect in the shooting of an 11-year-old girl in Antioch. Police said they are looking for the suspect and are asking the public to call 9-1-1 if they know of his whereabouts.
The girl, who Antioch police say was an innocent bystander riding in her family car, remains in critical condition. "She says, 'dad, why can't I see?"' the father said in Spanish. "It hurts me so much. Those are words I don't think any dad could handle."
Police say the 11-year-old is in critical, but stable condition. They believe the girl was just an innocent bystander, and they're unsure who was being targeted.
Antioch police found a 9-year-old boy struck by gunfire Sunday afternoon and identified and arrested a 17-year-old a short time later. The boy is expected to be okay.
