TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - A Trenton man and his nephew are headed to prison for a shooting that seriously injured a young girl.
Mercer County prosecutors say Jabreel Abdullah and Ali Abdullah opened fire on a parked car with tinted windows in May 2014, unaware that the 9-year-old girl was sitting inside. The girl was shot three times, including once in the leg and once in the shoulder, but has since recovered from her wounds.
A motive for the shooting has not been disclosed.
