A teenage girl was shot at a DeKalb County home early Tuesday when gunfire erupted and awakened residents in the quiet neighborhood, authorities said.
DeKalb police were called at about 12:10 a.m. to the 7000 block of Brecken Place, where several people were inside the home when the gunshots rang out, officials said. The residence is near the intersection of South Deshon Road and Stephenson Road.
At the scene, officers found the girl suffering from several gunshot wounds and she was taken to the hospital, police said.
She was identified as Mya’Brooke Bullock in a GoFundMe campaign created to raise money to pay for medical expenses, therapy and “anything else she needs to recover.” The organizer, Isaiah Bullock, said the teen was lying in her bed when “reckless gunfire tore through our home.” She was struck three times — in her right shoulder, lower back and right foot — according to the post.
Anyone with more information is asked to contact DeKalb police through the Tip411 app, or by texting “DKPD” to 847411, followed by their tip.
