“Twelve-year-old Ciara Meyer was standing behind her father when a constable came to the door.
The officer was serving an eviction notice Monday morning at their apartment near Duncannon, Pa., when police said the girl’s father pointed a rifle at the constable’s chest. Police said the officer drew his gun and pulled the trigger.
The bullet, police said, went though the man’s arm and struck his daughter.
“Very kind, sweet kid,” a neighbor told ABC affiliate WHTM. “Here’s a little girl that doesn’t even have a chance to grow up and live her life, and all because of this senseless act. It’s horrible, absolutely heartbreaking.”
The girl was pronounced dead at the scene.”
