A 6-year-old girl clings to life Saturday night after being struck by at least 7 bullets, while she was at home in bed. The young girl is currently in very critical condition at Arkansas Childrens Hospital and officials do not expect her to make it through the night.

(Lt. Terry Hastings, LR Police Department) "I've never seen a house that's had that many rounds shot into it at one time."

Police say at least two individuals used at least two different guns as they put over 50 rounds of bullets into 2715 Martin Luther King Dr., hitting the 6-year-old, Weathersby at least 7 times.

(Hastings) "To wound an innocent child and to see a six year old who has been shot that many times is disturbing to everybody. I've been in law enforcement 32 years and it's very disturbing to me to see a small child injured that severely."
