A four-year-old girl from Oakland, identified as Dreamer, is in the hospital recovering from a gunshot wound to her leg. The shooting occurred on Wednesday night at her mother's apartment on 68th Avenue in East Oakland. Police have not yet confirmed if the shooting was accidental or intentional. Felicia Gordon, a family friend, has criticized the child's mother and expressed concerns about the situation.
Dreamer's mother stated that she was in the kitchen cooking when she heard a gunshot shortly before 9 PM on Wednesday. Gordon, a mother and grandmother who recently moved into the same apartment complex, questioned the origin of the gun and expressed frustration with Dreamer's mother. She also voiced concerns about the potential dangers the child could have been exposed to, as the apartment is frequently visited by numerous people involved in fights and other questionable activities.
Dreamer was taken to the hospital, where she is expected to make a full recovery. Gordon revealed that the bullet was removed from the young girl's leg but remains frustrated with the mother's apparent lack of attention to her child's safety. An anonymous neighbor echoed Gordon's concerns, stating that the neighborhood's easy access to guns creates a dangerous environment for children.
Police have only confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and have not provided any details about what led to the gun being fired or if any suspects have been identified. The community awaits updates on the case and remains concerned about children's safety in the neighborhood.
As the investigation continues, residents hope that this incident serves as a wake-up call for parents and community members to prioritize the safety and well-being of children in the area.
