12-Year-Old Angelina Fights for Life After Being Hit by Stray Bullet on Christmas

Buenos Aires, December 25 (NA) – 12-year-old Angelina is fighting for her life in intensive care after being hit by a stray bullet on Christmas. Relatives recounted the incident and demanded justice. According to the Argentine News Agency, from the door of her home in Villa Sarmiento, her aunt broke the silence with a mix of hope and indignation: 'She is going to make it because she is super strong, but let the son of a bitch who owns the bullet watch out,' she said to the television cameras. The incident occurred when the children in the family went out to the sidewalk to see the fireworks after dinner. 'They didn't even get to open their gifts, they had to run,' her uncle recounted, detailing that the projectile—of low caliber—was lodged in the posterior fossa of the skull. 'She collapsed': the heartbreaking account from Angelina's uncle, the girl hit by a stray bullet. Although the minor is stable, her condition is critical, and doctors are evaluating a complex surgery to remove the bullet that 'entered but did not exit.' The family points to the 'recklessness' of those who shoot into the air: 'They don't measure the consequences; every shot into the air is a possibility of killing or ruining someone's life,' they concluded with deep pain.
