The toddler was
in her crib when a gunman opened fire on a converted garage in
Compton, south of downtown Los Angeles, the County Sheriff's
Department said.
The gunman and the driver of a getaway car were being sought,
officials said. The shooting appeared to be gang-related, a
spokeswoman for the sheriff said.
The area is one of the most violent in Los Angeles County, with
475 violent crimes, including eight homicides, in the past six
months, data compiled by the Los Angeles Times shows.
