3-Year-Old Girl in Critical Condition

May 17, 2016 By HKearl

Trigger Warning – Violence escalation

Via Jezebel:

“On Sunday night, a Memphis man opened fire on a woman and her three year-old daughter after she refused his advances. The girl was hit multiple times, and is now in the hospital in “extremely critical condition.”

The gunman, who is still on the run, had had a confrontation with the girl’s mother. Local Memphis reports that, after the woman rejected him, he flew into a rage and fired into the car.”

Sending many positive thoughts out to the mother and daughter with every hope that the three-year-old recovers.

#Streetharassment is a serious issue. Male entitlement is deadly. We must address and end this!

H/T to our board member Laura S. Logan
