‘She is a hero’: 13-year-old survivor of Michigan shooting rampage called 911
Girl called police after she was shot four times in shooting spree that left six dead, including gunman A 13-year-old girl in Michigan survived being shot four times in a shooting spree that left six people dead – including the suspected attacker – and called emergency help herself shortly before investigators identified the gunman, according to a state police official and her family. Those actions made the teen a “hero”, said a relative of hers as well as two of the dead victims. First responders took the girl to a hospital while she was in critical condition, but she was stable by Saturday, police said. She “called 911 to report that she had been shot” at one of three scenes where the rampage unfolded, state police spokesperson Lt Ashley Miller said, as reported by NBC News . The shooter had fled before police arrived to the scene, but Miller said investigators were aware of the suspected shooter’s identity. “We were able to identify him right away,” Miller added, without providing details on how.

A relative, in a Facebook post , identified two of the victims killed as 40-year-old Amanda Everitt and her son, Eric, age 16. He is alleged to have killed five people across three locations in Michigan’s Missaukee county and was later found dead next to a shooting victim in a wooded area after police launched a manhunt.
