While police investigated the Hull Street shooting, they discovered a one-year-old baby inside the apartment.

"I saw just a little girl sitting in the middle of the floor. Sitting there quiet at first. But kind of whining. We saw that she was okay she didn’t look injured," said Richmond Police Sergeant James Killingsworth said.

Sergeant Killingsworth said he comforted the little girl to make sure she was safe.

"Anytime you got a child involved it pulls at your heart-strings," Killingsworth said. "You kind of process through it. But you always hope, you hope that little girl — despite this tragedy —  she can go on and have a full life. A good life."
