The mother of two girls shot during brazen daylight gun fire at a crowded playground in Scarborough says she fainted when hearing the news her children were wounded.

Her five-year-old was shot in the abdomen and her nine year-old was shot in the leg. Both girls have had several surgeries and are still traumatized and suffering nightmares.

The mother remembers the moment when she answered a knock at the door on June 14 to be told by a neighbour her daughters had been shot in a playground on Alton Towers Circle, near McCowan Rd.

“I saw it on her face. I dropped and passed out myself because it’s shocking when you see something like that,” the mother, who didn’t want to be identified, told CTV News.

The mother said she also remembers seeing her screaming children before getting in the ambulance with her five-year-old to go to the way to the Hospital for Sick Children.

Her youngest kept asking if she would die.
