"Two black males in Milwaukee walked up to the home of a white family, in a majority black neighborhood, and unleashed a hail of gunfire. A five year old white girl was murdered while sitting on her grandfather’s lap."
Now this makes it sound like the girl and her grandfather were sitting outside and were shot at point blank range, right?
This is what is known as a lie of omission.
Here are some facts:
Family of 5-Year-Old Laylah Petersen Killed in Drive-By Shooting Donates Her HeartPetersen and her grandfather were on a couch inside the grandparents' home when, according to police, about a dozen bullets that were fired at the house tore through a wall Thursday night. One struck Laylah in the head. There have been no arrests.
Investigators said they don't believe the family members were the intended victims, and the chief said the residence may have been mistakenly targeted.
Laylah Petersen was sitting on her grandfather's lap Thursday evening when two people approached the house and fired at it numerous times, with one bullet piercing a wall and striking the girl in the head, police said.
The window was scarred with five bullet holes. Four more could be seen in the siding above the window and another below it.
