The girl was upstairs after just taking a bath.
"So when I went to go pick her up, she had blood all over her body," Garrett said. "And I knew she had been shot but I could not see where. Bullets were still going off so I couldn't assess her the way I wanted to. The bullets were still ringing out.
"This is senseless. Once again, it is always senseless. I am sick of using the word senseless. It's unacceptable."
