By Associated Press, Aug. 1, 2014, Dailymail.co.uk
A 3-year-old girl who was sitting on her front porch getting her hair done was killed Friday night when a man opened fire during an argument, police and witnesses said.
Three adults were injured.
The shooting happened at about 9:40 p.m. in the Grays Ferry section of the city.
Philadelphia Police Capt. Michael Gormley told the news station two men were arguing on the street when one pulled out a gun and started firing.
Witnesses said a stray bullet hit the girl in the left side of her chest as she was getting her hair done, and the shooter fled on a bicycle.
Officers arriving at the scene put the child in their patrol car and rushed her to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 10:21 p.m., Gormley said.
'There's nothing much you can say about this tragedy,' Mike Collins, the victim's cousin, told the local NBC station.
