Ava Ellis, a 4-year-old girl, started school in a wheelchair after a bizarre and mind-boggling police screw-up in June, when her mom, Andrea, cut herself on some glass, only to have a police officer show up at the house and shoot the little girl in the leg. The unbelievable incident was featured on a recent Inside Edition TV report.
The mom has now posted her own account of shooting on a Facebook page, saying that not only did Columbus, Ohio, police officer Jonathan Thomas shoot her little girl by “accident” — he was trying to shoot the family dog — but that he refused to even apologize and simply turned and left their home without even calling for help.
Paramedics showed up and treated the little girl, rushing Ava to a hospital as she asked her mother over and over again, “Mommy, am I going to die?”
