The victim was transported to an area hospital with serious injuries.

Anthony Frasier lives across the street and said he heard what sounded like a gunshot. He said he initially thought the sound came from his TV, but moments later he knew something was wrong.

Frasier and his father Everett are hoping the young girl pulls through.

"I just hope that she makes it, and I feel for the family," Everett said. "My prayers go out to them. I called my church and put everybody's name involved on the prayer list."
