The child was sitting on her bed watching TV when police said someone drove down the street and opened fire, hitting cars and the family’s home.
"You're just shooting,” Latimer said. “Bullets don't have no name on them."
Princess’ father, Lamonte Jackson, said he was “heartbroken” and “angry.”
Anyone with information on this case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477.
The shooting was one of at least five reported in Atlanta over the weekend.
