Edgar Martinez, a spokesman for the Jersey City Police Department.
Information about a motive or a possible suspect was not immediately available, and Martinez did not say if the child was the intended target in the attack. Police were actively canvassing the housing complex and interviewing witnesses late tonight, according to Martinez.
The girl was shot "in the throat area," according to a law enforcement official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the official is not authorized to speak about the shooting publicly.
