MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Jayda Holmes, a 5-year-old Minneapolis girl who was shot in the foot while she slept in August, returned to school in a wheelchair Thursday.
The girl arrived at Lucy Laney Thursday morning just weeks after the incident that left her foot severely wounded.
Minneapolis Police investigated the incident, saying a shooter unloaded seven shots into the back of Holmes’ family’s duplex in the 2100 block of 4th Street North in Minneapolis. The spent casings were found by a clump of trees in the backyard; the bullet holes spanned both the first and second floors.
The suspect was gone by the time police arrived and it's unknown who or what was the target.
