Channel 11’s Dave Bondy reported that a 10-year-old was shot and killed during an attempted home invasion in Washington County Monday. Bondy’s sources said the child was killed inside of a house on West Chestnut Street in the city of Washington. Washington County Coroner Tim Warco says the girl, Taniyah Thomas, was shot in the head about 3:50 a.m. Police have said the girl was a fourth-grader at Washington Park School. During a morning news conference, police said whoever fired the shots kicked in a bottom level door to get access to the building. They then traveled upstairs, where the shots were fired. Investigators said Taniyah likely woke up scared after hearing the gunshots and tried running to her mom’s room, where she was shot. Bondy spoke to Taniyah’s grandfather who said she loved cheerleading and was an innocent bystander to terrible violence. “You don’t shoot kids. I can see you killing a grown-up or doing something that did something to you. You don’t mess with young kids. Why? They never did anything you,” Sherman Brown said. “I just took her last Wednesday to her cheerleading and she was supposed to go tomorrow to Pittsburgh for a competition. Now she can’t go.” Police have also said an infant was inside the home at the time of the shooting, but was not hurt. wpxi/news/news/sources-10-year-old-shot-killed-washington-county-/nfPHn/
