Cops Open Fire on Pickup Truck Full of Children, Shooting 3 of Them, One in the Head
Oklahoma City, OK — A rather disturbing scene unfolded in Oklahoma City this weekend as police officers attempting to kill a robbery suspect opened fire on four small children, shooting three of them — one of them in the head.
According to police, they were searching for a robbery suspect when they found William Devaughn Smith, 21, in his pickup truck with the four children. When police made contact with Smith, they began shooting.
“As they tried to approach the suspect, there was an incident that happened. An officer involved shooting took place,” said OSBI Spokeswoman Jenny Virden.
During the shooting, police apparently didn’t care about or didn’t see the children in the pickup truck and so three of them were shot.
After shooting three children, police took to the press to point out the fact that not all of the children were shot as one of them luckily came out unscathed.
“I don’t know what these injuries are. And then one child, from what I understand was not injured,” said Virden.
“I mean my children, for crying out loud. Four innocent little children,” said mother of the injured children Olivia Hill.
Despite police claiming the children aren’t facing life-threatening injuries, Hill explained that her little girl has a bullet lodged in her brain.
“My 4-year-old daughter was shot in the head, and she has a bullet in her brain, and my 5-year-old has a skull fracture,” Hill said. “My 1-year-old baby has gunshot wounds on her face. My 2-year-old wasn’t touched with any bullets.”

Non-life threatening wounds for 3 kids in Oklahoma shooting
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The injuries suffered by three children when Oklahoma police fired at a robbery suspect in a pickup truck are non-life-threatening, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said Saturday.
OSBI spokeswoman Brook Arbeitman said the 5-, 4- and 1-year-old children were taken to a Tulsa-area hospital. Their names and conditions were not released.
Olivia Hill told Sherman, Texas, news station KXII-TVthat she is the mother of the three and of a fourth child who was not wounded.
"My 4-year-old daughter was shot in the head, and she has a bullet in her brain, and my 5-year-old has a skull fracture," Hill said. "My 1-year-old baby has gunshot wounds on her face. My 2-year-old wasn't touched with any bullets."
Hill and the four children were in the pickup with William Devaughn Smith, 21, when two officers approached him and gunfire broke out Friday in Hugo, which is near the Texas state line, Arbeitman said. Smith's relationship to Hill and the children isn't clear.
Investigators have not determined what led to the shooting that also wounded Smith, who was treated at a hospital about 30 miles (48 kilometers) away in Paris, Texas, then taken to a Texas jail on an Oklahoma robbery warrant, Arbeitman said.

wasn’t there. Spoke to no one there. Knows no one there. Going off a story so full of holes he can’t even say if the perp was armed or not. Can’t say if he was shooting at the cops or not. Trying to flee or not.
