AN EIGHT MONTH OLD BABY GIRL IS RECOVERING AT A GALLUP HOSPITAL AFTER A THREE YEAR OLD SHOT HER IN THE FACE LAST SATURDAY AT A MOTEL THERE. IT HAPPENED AS THE BOY’S PARENTS WERE NEARBY IN THE MOTEL.
NO WORD ON THE INFANT GIRL’S CONDITION BUT THE 18 YEAR OLD SHAYANNE NELSON AND 21 YEAR OLD TYRELL BITSILLY NOW FACE CHARGES OF CHILD ABUSE. NELSON SAID SHE DIDN’T KNOW THE GUN IN THE ROOM. BUT IT’S POSSIBLE THE WEAPON WAS LEFT BY A PREVIOUS OCCUPANT.
A WITNESS REPORTED SEEING BITSILLY WIPE THE GUN DOWN AFTER THE SHOOTING.
