GAFFNEY, SC (WBTV) -

An 8-year-old girl from Shelby was killed in a shooting in Cherokee County Sunday morning, according to Fox Carolina. 

Fox Carolina reported that multiple shots were fired into an apartment in the 800 block of West Buford Street in Gaffney around 1:11 a.m.  The girl was in the home and was struck in the head by at least one of those bullets, the Cherokee County Coroner told Fox Carolina. 

EMS responded and took the child to the hospital where she was pronounced dead at 2:35 a.m., according to Fox Carolina. 

The coroner identified the girl as Kamryn Montara Lamya Bradley, Fox Carolina reported. 

The Cherokee County Coroner, Dennis Fowler, gave this statement to Fox Carolina:

“The victim was seated on a sofa in the apartment when the bullet penetrated the window and struck her in the head.  She was transported from the scene by ambulance to Mary Black Health Systems-Gaffney where she died at 2:35 a.m. It appears she was not a target but rather a victim of some person or persons who fired multiple rounds into the apartment from the parking lot. This is another tragic, senseless loss of life at the hands of gang related activity, this time an 8 year old child.   It has to stop."

Fox Carolina stated that no one has been arrested in this shooting. 

Dispatch is unsure whether it was a drive-by shooting, according to Fox Carolina.

Open up a bottle of wine with a friend, roommate or significant other, get drunk and fall asleep on the boxes. Then make sure you have your new apartment unpacked for you.— Matt, Downtown Brooklyn (pictured below) Packing up is way easier I’d rather have a mover help me unpack—and if they could add in a professional organizer who could say no!— Lauren, Upper West Side I’ve never met a box I didn’t like I’d much rather have the help unpacking since it always takes me at least a week to unpack after a vacation, let alone moving my whole life. Torture.— Tori, Crown Heights, Brooklyn Let the experts pack up I’m always going to be the first one to ask for packing help. Unpacking is a different story, however, as I ...
