WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) - A 7-year-old girl who was shot while playing outside in northeast D.C. Saturday got to reunite with the D.C. Fire and EMS crew who helped save her life.
Reagan Grimes was shot through her chest Saturday while she was playing outside. Initially, police said her injuries were life-threatening, but on Tuesday, just three days later, she was released from intensive care and allowed to go home.
Reagan said her mother and grandmother told her how many people were praying for her and that it made her happy.
"Thank you for praying for me when I was in the hospital," Reagan said.
