7-year-old girl shot in the head during drive-by in Pontiac

A 7-year-old girl was shot in the head and is in critical condition after a drive-by shooting in Pontiac Friday afternoon.

Police say the little girl was sitting in a car in the driveway while the vehicle was being unloaded when a small orange SUV pulled up firing shots at about 4:50 p.m. The shooting took place near Wilson and Edmund Court.

Although the girl's parents were near the car she was in, it does not appear they were also shot, said Rahim Harris, who leads an anti-crime unit called Pontiac Universal Crimes. 

There is no further description available of the SUV or the suspect at this time.
