How sad, terrible !!!
????????????????Another Child’s life cut short over nonsense ????????????????
Tracey Tift it is horrible. Thanks goodness she was injured not killed.Shot thru the leg.
Tracey Tift try reading the article, the kids alive ????
Mary Ann Bright Giejda
Thanks GOODNESS still senseless never the less ????????????????
Martin Brown and ? So the lady can’t use praying emoji for an injured child ?Your reply is ignorant
Omfg this poor baby!!! Wtf!!!
Thankfully her injuries are non-life threatening. Children deserve better than this. ????
Thank god it is not life threatening but a broken femur is very serious.
Another beautiful child ????
i’m here to watch the comments section turn super racist about black on black crime, even though no details have been disclosed in the article, and everything will be because they read the headline and nothing else.
Martin Brown you’re part of the problem.
Martin Brown I’m pretty sure your comment wasn’t you trying to stir the pot????.
Martin Brown or maybe yiu should’ve come here to see why there isn’t an outcry of about children that are being shot at an alarming rate by criminals. Where are the protests? How come there isn’t national news coverage? Maybe instead of coming on a thread to find so call rasists,maybe you should be asking why isnt thongs like this getting the attention it deserves.
Alan Wolf yeah you caught me, i’m the racist one alright.
Martin Brown you sound like a whiny child trying to make it about you, so everybody stop what they are doing Martin is here watching. Gfoh
Martin Brown ????
Patrick Spangler someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, sad you peaked in high school football?
Martin Brown like I said a child. Good luck with that though.
Thousands of blacks shot by other blacks every year, over 2500 alone this year in Chicago and NO ONE cares. And we are racist for pointing it out? How do we stop this? Ignoring the issue does not seem to be working!!!
Patrick Spangler oh wait you’re the old guy? do you not understand how to use facebook? i thought you were a pissant fresh out of high school living off your football memories. be sure to use your proper profile picture Pat! it’s probably up in this one anyways.
Martin Brown it’s like talking to a 8 yr old. Now go to your room.
Patrick Spangler your replies have no content in them but mine are that ‘of an eight year olds’. greatest generation can’t even keep up on facebook. have fun in your nursing home you boomer fuck.
Martin Brown what a long winded whiny bitch, just breathe/relax it’s ok you’ll grow up maybe and FYI it’s Gen X. Peace ????
Martin Brown omg. And ? Did you find any ? The Only one is you
Laura Schneider Lange yeah i found some racist comments. Are you actually surprised?
pps:
Martin Brown i never said that you are a racist. Obviously your reading comprehension isn’t very good. So let me explain what I said in a way that a 5yr old. I was try to say is that you came here to stir the pot. You’re a typical pot stirring douche bag. Clear enough for ya?
And another thing is, I never said that poor child was in a gang. The scumbag that shot her probably is though.
Martin Brown Isn’t the important thing here the fact that a child was shot?
Asbury is a dangerous city. I hope she heels quick and they catch the offender
Kevin Scott how can it be dangerous when it has so many restaurants ??? ????
????????
This has to stop ????all of this has gotten so out of control
Meanwhile people are arguing over Goodyear tires…disgusted!
Hope her beautiful smile returns quickly! So sad she had to go through this. Wish her a speedy recovery.
She must be in a gang
Freddy Pantso you’re disgusting
Prayers for this baby girl!
????????????
Good old asbury!!!
Sending prayers
In what world are we living in that our sweet children are now being shot?
Shari Brucker Stopera world is so f’d up… guess BLM only if killed by a police officer … where are the mobs looking for the person who did this- ohhhhhhh , I’m sorry it’s the POLICE the good men and women who risk their lives every day – out there looking for this animal…. I pray she recovers and is alright- that sweet little face ♥️
Jessica Monteiro LoAlbo ????
This has to stop!
Praying for this precious little girl!
Prayers for this sweet child ????
Sending prayers .
Yeah let’s blame law abiding citizens and take more guns from them. When we all know its gang banging thugs in ghettos and yes Asbury park is a ghetto.
Poor kid
Scott Therrien she’s alive
Scott Therrien she didn’t die. She got shot in the thigh
Oh I read it wrong. Either way, shouldn’t have happened
Poor baby!
Speeding recovery♡
????????????
These shooting against children have to stop! Sending prayers
This is horrible… when will this end
Prayers for a speedy recovery ????. Heartbreaking to see this happening to innocent babies.
Prayers for this little girl…glad she is ok!! ????
what is wong with people today
???????? Prayers for this beautiful child and her recovery..Prayers also for her family as they deal with this horrible crime.
pray for a speedy recover
Senseless!!! Another innocent victim of a bullet meant for someone else. This bullshit has to stop. Prayers for a speedy recovery
I am so sad for our children. A childs only worry should be if the ice cream man will come tonight. No child or person should fear for their lives ever. Poor baby praying for her and her family. ????
After the shooting on 4th of July a couple years ago, I’ll never take my family there again. I know they’ve been trying to fix it, but they need to try harder. There is a long way to go to make Asbury Park safe.
Getting out of hand already. People should be sentenced to life in prison no parole for hitting bystanders.
Why does this make the new but when Cannon was killed last week no news channel picked it up Asking for a friend
Poor baby!! WTF is going on in this world?
So true both young children both deserve same amount of news coverage. Only guess is because he’s white really don’t what to go down that rabbit hole. Just saying
Louis Saldino what is going on?!?!
What a beautiful little girl so sad she is going through this ????
Wheres the media coverage for her…oh wait she must not be important just like little Cannon kids SHOULD NOT BE SHOT!!
Very sad, hope she recovers well & they find who did it.
I hope they get the bastard
My heart aches for this beautiful child, this is insane, these animals need to join the service
Praying the community provides information to find and arrest the person responsible for this.
Poor little girl! Why? Why a little child?
Another piece of trash that needs to be exterminated…. Asbury Park is a joke
Sending Prayers ????????
Poor child. So sad that this happened. All our babies are getting shot.
Merle Joy Sell-Mariano Yes and nothing is getting done to try and jail them. Hope he gets the same ,piece of trash!!!
Used to go there to the boardwalk when I was a kid. ….I guess it’s a dump now…so sad, children aren’t safe anywhere anymore
So sorry for this little girl, hope she recovers quickly.
Prayers???????? So so sad
This is so wrong
????
So sad…..
A beautiful face… ????❤
So sad
Poor girl. This sh-t really needs to stop.
Prayers to this baby and her family. ????????????????
A beautiful little girl, prayers for a full recovery. Honey u have many prayers. Going your way????❤️
Alot of kids being shot lately. Is due to gang retaliation shootings. They need to do gang sweeps again
And this is why Asbury Park will never be a premiere shore destination
Prayers for this baby!
Has to STOP❗❗❗????????????
I don’t know why anyone would go there at all unless they absolutely have to. You’re not safe anywhere there. If these gang members see somebody that they want dead, they’re going to shoot then and there. It doesn’t matter where it is or how many other people are around at the time. The risk of some innocent person being hit by a stray bullet is the farthest thing from their minds.
????????
Prayers for a speedy recovery and prosecution to the gunman.
Enough is Enough. What Happened to Black Lives Matter? Is that only when white people or cops have a problem with a black person? I guess it doesn’t count when its Blacks against Blacks. ALL LIVES MATTER Stop this madness and put down the guns.
Janice Ramos I was told on a Newark reporting site that it’s part of life there and anyone was game innocent or not adults and kids..heck juveniles up north committing car jacking murder drug dealing etc…they don’t want a normal life
Nothing is sacred. God bless our children.
Prayers
So so heartbreaking.
May thoughts and prayers are with her family
????
Why isn’t the community stoping these crimes? You are out there protesting the police, throwing bricks at them, wishing death to them and wanting defunding of the police. Come on BLM and community activist it’s your time to shine. The police need to sit it out and let you shine.
Prayers to this little girl for a full recovery
Poor little girl
So sad and disturbing
What the hell is wrong with people !!!! ????????????????
God cradle this little girl in your loving arms. Amen.
Idiots ,Leave These Children Alone
This needs to stop now!!
Come on people. This is terrible. Way to careless and unthoughtful. Love not Hate. That child was innocent
This is so very sad
Sending prayers
Omg Thank god it was life threatening
Beautiful little girl…hoping for a speedy recovery ????????
This is a SIN and a SHAME, what in the HELL is wrong with YOU people.
#STOPTHESHOOTING
#STOPTHEVIOLENCE
Now potentially you ruined or possibly done away with another CHILDS LIFE. Is that what YOUR parents taught YOU? Do you think children should bear the brunt of your negligence? Did someone SHOOT YOU at 4 Years old you BIG bully?
She is recovering in the hospital and the kid that shot her was arrested yesterday!????????
????????????????
Senseless violence…Hurting and killing all of these innocent kids. ..sickening
Prayers for this beautiful angel ???? hope she’s okay
Leah Carbajal
Heavenly Father, prayers for this little girl and her family!
Let’s get over the snitches get stitches attitude and come forward and protect our kids!
This baby matters, the POS that shot her doesn’t!
This has to stop!!!
Where the BLM crickets
This horrible these children do not deserve this they are innocent kids the violence needs to stop who ever did this should be executed
Were are all the protesters for these kids lives were is all the media coverage there lives matter too
So sad! Condolences to her family and all those close to her. This breaks my heart.
Protesters are not there because they do not get paid
