CLEVELAND (AP) - Authorities in Cleveland say three men have been indicted on aggravated murder and other charges in the death of a 9-year-old girl struck by an errant shot during an exchange of gunfire nearby.

Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH’-guh) County’s prosecutor said Monday that a grand jury indicted two 19-year-old men and an 18-year-old man in the fatal shooting of Saniyah Nicholson on June 20. Cleveland police say she was shot when teens in a vehicle exchanged gunfire with teens on foot.

The prosecutor says three juveniles, ages 16 to 17, have been charged in juvenile court with aggravated murder and other counts.
