*The insightful thinking of a 4-tear-old girl is the reason she is alive today. After hearing a gunshot she ran into the living room of the home she shared with her mom and half- brother, to find her mother lying on the floor, and her dad holding a gun.
The dad ordered her to go back to her room. She did, and faked sleep when he went to check on her.
“She heard several shots fired after that,” said Bellefontaine Neighbors Police Chief Jeremy Ihler.
