Man, child shot in Mosby

From Brandon Shulleeta at the Richmond Times-Dispatch:
An adult male and a child, approximately 6 years old, were shot shortly after 4 p.m. Thursday in the 1900 block of Redd Street, according to police Capt. Emmett Williams. Both suffered single gunshot wounds and were taken to VCU Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, Williams said.
Vito Gayles, who lives in the neighborhood, said he heard about 10 shots and then saw two men in their late teens or early 20s running from the scene — one of them with a gun. At least one of them got into a van that was waiting nearby, he added.
@1 – are you really making grammar jokes when a 6 year old just got shot?
This is about the most awful thing I can imagine. Whatever these creep’s motivations were for shooting the guy couldn’t they have at least waited until the kid was gone? (Yes, ideally just not done it is even better)

She’s an adorable kid. I hope whoever did this is losing sleep for it even if RPD hasn’t caught them yet.
Does anyone know how to set up a kickstarter page or something like that for this girl’s family? I’d be willing to chip in to help get them a place to move to.
