12 Year Old girl Shot

Recently, a 12 year old girl was shot in Iraq on accident by U.S. soldiers because she was standing behind the truck. Shots were trying to be fired at a vehicle that accelerated towards Hurriya police station, but also hit the young girl accidentally standing in the way. The incident occurred in Hurriya in Nineveh province, according to a news release from Multi-National Corp-Iraq.The soldiers send their apologies and prayers to the girls family. This event is very tragic, along with many others from the War in Iraq. Hopefully these kinds of shootings and accidents will decrease soon.
