Grandmother and Granddaughter Shot on New Road

Just before news time on Tuesday night shots rang out on New Road. As sixty-year-old Judith Rocke and her grandchildren sat inside their house to watch the television evening news, reports are that a gunman standing at a nearby alley fired up to six shots at the house. Rocke was hit to the right arm, but a bullet penetrated her seven-year-old granddaughter, Malli Herrera, to the lower back. The bullet exited the minor’s abdomen and ruptured several internal organs. Herrera remains in a critical condition at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital. In an off camera interview Rocke, who has been released from the hospital, explains what happened.

Voice of: Judith Rocke, Shooting Victim

“I was sitting in my chair waiting for the seven o’clock news when I hear gunshots fired; about four [shots]. After that, I realized that I was hit in the right arm and my granddaughter was hit in the buttock’s area; that’s all I can say.”
