'Precious Girl,' 4, Is Killed at Dentist Office During Shooting Outside Between Police and Suicidal Man

An Ohio community is grieving the loss of a 4-year-old girl police say was killed by a stray bullet during an exchange of gunfire.

Rosalie Martin, 4, was killed in the shooting in St. Clair Township on Wednesday, Jan. 22, after police responded to a nearby call about a possibly suicidal man, the township police said in a statement.

Responding officers found the individual walking down the street when they attempted to have a conversation with him, the statement said. The man allegedly opened fire “almost immediately” and was himself fatally shot after officers fired back. 

Rosalie, who according to a GoFundMe was inside a dentist’s office nearby, was shot during the incident, police said. She was taken to a hospital where she died, police said in an update a few hours after the incident.

It wasn’t clear who fired the bullet that struck her. PEOPLE has reached out to St. Clair Township police for further information.

The GoFundMe set up for the family of “sweet Rosie” says she leaves behind her parents and three siblings. 

“Jennifer and Jessel, unfortunately, did not have any life insurance on Rosie, as they never expected to lose their precious girl at all, let alone this soon,” reads part of the fundraiser. “This tragedy has left this family in shambles.”
