And while he is critical, so is 7-year-old Mali Herrera.

On Tuesday night, she was sitting with her grandmother watching the news when a shooter opened fire on their house, hitting 60 year old Judith Rocke in the forearm, while Mali was shot in the back.

The bullet went right through her, causing serious internal injury. She underwent a long surgery and it seems to have been a success. Her family tells us she is no longer on the ventilator, she is responding to verbal communication, and is now in a more stable condition - but still critical. Little Malia Herrera still has a long way to go but is expected to recover. The shooter has still not been identified as police continue to investigate.
