A 4-year-old girl was wounded by gunfire outside Logan's Roadhouse in east Birmingham.

The shooting happened about 8;45 p.m. Wednesday as the girl and her parents were at the restaurant. Birmingham police spokesman Lt. Sean Edwards said the family had backed into a parking space at Logan's, right off of Crestwood Boulevard, when they heard shots and their car windows shattered.

The family drove to a nearby Shell station, where they realized the little girl, in a car seat in the back seat, had been hit in the leg. Birmingham Fire and Rescue responded to the Shell station, and transported the girl to Children's of Alabama. She is expected to be OK.

The family's Infiniti was peppered by gunfire on the hood and front passenger's side. Evidence technicians were processing the car in the gas station parking lot.

Outside the nearby Logan's, the car of at least one additional customer was also struck by the gunfire, it's windows shattered. Evidence markers noted multiple shell casings in the parking lot.

The intended target of the gunfire wasn't immediately known. No suspects are in custody, and the investigation is ongoing.
