An 11-year-old girl remained in intensive care Monday afternoon while her family struggled to make it through another day after she was shot in the head by a “stray bullet” that smashed through a window and hit her in the head during an argument outside with neighbors.

“I’m tired. I haven’t slept,” her mother, Brenda Ibarra, told the Sun-Times. “I feel like if I blink, something bad is going to happen. I’m scared for my baby. She’s just a little girl.”
