Girl recovering after being shot in central Kentucky

An 11-year-old girl is recovering after being shot in the parking lot of a central Kentucky church. Investigators say the child was in a parked car at the Magnolia Street Christian Church in Harrodsburg. Police say someone fired a shot into the car, hitting the 11-year-old in the arm. She was treated and released soon after. Police do not think this was an accidental shooting. "Especially in the church parking lot, I mean, you would assume that would be a fairly safe place to sit and park. Not a terrible neighborhood. It was surprising that it happened there," said Sgt. Brian Allen of the Harrodsburg Police Department.
