The Department of Public Safety is investigating after a 3-year-old was shot in an officer-involved shooting.
The girl’s family reached out to CBS7 and told us this all started when officers came into their house without announcing themselves.
Texas Rangers said they’re not releasing any details for now on how a 3-year-old ended up in a Lubbock hospital with a bullet wound in her back.
“She’s in a lot of pain,” the girl’s father, Luis Gomez said.
But the child’s father said his 16-year-old son was home alone with the girl when something crashed into their window.
“And he heard the front door kicked in, so he thought someone was robbing us or something,” Gomez said.
However, he said while the officers had a search warrant, they didn’t announce themselves when they came in. »
