George Floyd’s great niece Arianna, 4, is shot in bed in attack at family home after she paid tribute at protests
GEORGE Floyd’s four-year-old great-niece was shot while in her bed in an attack at their Houston family home after she paid tribute at protests.
According to ABC13, the bullet was fired by an unidentified suspect/s who opened fire into her family’s Texas house.
Arianna, 4, underwent surgery after the shooting and is expected to survive.
The child’s father told the outlet that the four-year-old remains in the hospital with a punctured lung and liver and three broken ribs.
At the time, four adults and two children were inside the home on Yellowstone Blvd in south Houston.
The father said Arianna was sleeping in her bed when the shooting took place.
While police did not immediately disclose a description of the shooter or a motive, the girl’s family told ABC13 they know who opened fire, and they believe the shooting was “just a coincidence”.
The child reportedly attended several protests last year to honor her slain uncle.
