Police say Hemsley was in the company of her brother when a man on a bicycle rode up and fired a single shot. The bullet found its mark on the upper part of the girl’s right leg. News 5 understands that she was treated and released from the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital. Police say they are looking for two people in connection with the shooting.
