George Floyd's 4-year-old niece shot at home on New Year's Day​

A 4-year-old girl is recovering after she was shot in a Houston apartment on New Year's Day. Arianna Delane's family told CBS affiliate KHOU that she is the niece of George Floyd, who was murdered by former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in May 2020.

Delane was sleeping in the apartment when someone opened fire just before 3 a.m. Another child and four adults were also in the apartment at the time of the shooting.

On Tuesday, Houston police said they are investigating the incident. They do not have a suspect description or a motive for the shooting in which at least one person fired several shots into the apartment. Though the department did not name Delane, they did confirm a 4-year-old victim was shot in the torso.

"She was transported in a private vehicle to an area hospital where she underwent surgery and is currently in stable condition," the police said.

A friend of the family's told KHOU that the girl had a punctured lung, punctured liver and three broken ribs, and that she walked for the first time since the shooting on Tuesday.

Police have been criticized for their response to the incident after Delane's father, Derrick Delane, told KTRK-TV that they didn't arrive at the scene until 7 a.m., more than four hours after the shooting occurred.

What?? She was transported in a private vehicle and yet police did not respond until four hours after the shooting? When exactly were police notified? She ends up with a punctured liver, lung and three broken ribs? I have always great sympathy for a child but this article/incident sounds very suspicious. These shots came from outside the apartment at 3 a.m. on New Year's Day??? And from outside the apartment a gun shot or several gave this child three broken ribs?? This is a major high powered bullet or more than one that traveled through the poor child's body and from outside an apartment? It is rather hard to believe this was from outside an apartment or am I missing something?? Cops did not confirm who it was but so and so did say she was Floyd's niece and they started a GoFundMe??

Maybe it has just been a day but on a read of this link I have to say what???

Chauvin was and is guilty in my book without question BUT I am not one that said or felt Floyd was any prince/angel. And he lived in MN despite roots in TX but here we go in TX...

Am I missing something here?

Poor child. She definitely needs to be elsewhere... Dangerous area, dangerous place apparently.

We've had several people here that have been shot that way. Victim inside, shooter outside, whether it be in a house or apartment. Several have been killed.
