Police say a Southern California shoe store owner opened fire at two shoplifters but mistakenly shot a 9-year-old girl about to have her picture taken with a mall Easter bunny

This Clark County Detention Center booking photo provided by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, shows Marqel Cockrell, of Adelanto, Calif., following his arrest late Tuesday, April 12, 2022, by the Nevada Highway Patrol. Police in Victorville, Calif., identified Cockrell as a store owner who opened fire at shoplifters at a mall, but mistakenly shot and wounded a 9-year-old girl before he fled to Nevada and was arrested. The girl was hospitalized in stable condition.

The girl, identified by family members as Ava Chruniak, had been getting ready for pictures with the Easter bunny in the mall when the shots were fired, said her grandmother, Robin Moraga-Saldarelli. The girl was left with three gunshot wounds, including two in her arm, Moraga-Saldarelli said."And it's the kind of fracture they can't surgically fix.

Cockrell, a co-owner of the shoe store Sole Addicts, was arrested in his car at about 9 p.m. in Clark County by the Nevada Highway Patrol, Victorville police said.
