She was taken to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital and it appears that she will recover fine.
She was only shot once, but the bullet went through both legs. Police say Robinson was holding her when he took a gun out of his waistband and accidentally fired it.
She was airlifted to Akron Children’s Hospital later on in the night.
Robinson has a concealed carry permit and has been cooperating with officials.
