Residents of Oakland, California, were shocked to learn that a 4-year-old girl had been shot in the leg yesterday night, with the incident taking place inside a home located on 68th Avenue near MacArthur Boulevard. Still, the resilient child managed to survive the ordeal and is recovering, according to KTVU.

In the midst of an ongoing investigation, Oakland Police have provided limited details, adding to the mystery surrounding the case as the girl's shooting circumstances remain unclear. It is unknown what might have led to the violence or who else was present inside the home at the time, as KRON4 reported.
