10 Year-Old Girl: Critical Condition After "Celebratory" Bullet New Year's Day

At the A.I. Dupont Hospital for Children in Wilmington (I conducted legal training for nurses there on the day of the Sandy Hook shooting), a young girl is fighting for her life after an apparently "celebratory" bullet struck her while she was watching fireworks with her family shortly after midnight. Thankfully she's getting top notch care at A.I. Dupont. Sickeningly, she's there in the first place because of yet another misuse of a firearm- perhaps the first in 2013 against a child. With 364 days left to go, I shudder to imagine the rest of the year.
