"Antioch police said the suspect turned himself into the San Francisco Sheriff's Office Monday. Police had already identified the suspect and were looking for him. The girl was in a car with her family leaving the Delta View apartments in Antioch heading to the store when she was shot in the head on Jan. 5. Police say it appears the shooter was trying to hit someone else. They say the family was not targeted."
"The father, who wants to protect their identity, shared a picture of his 11-year-old daughter at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in Oakland, where she remains in critical condition. It was taken two days after she was shot in the head in Antioch. She has bandages on her head and tubes all over her body. They are hopeful she will return to the vibrant girl she was before a stray bullet struck her. The father said his daughter is regaining her vision. "I'm so happy," he said. "I cried out of sadness. Now, I cry out of happiness.""
