HALL COUNTY, Ga. — A Hall County mother said strangers crashed her 9-year-old daughter’s birthday party and shot her in the head when she told them to leave.
Channel 2′s Matt Johnson was in Hall County, where deputies are still looking for the two women who the mother said opened fire.
The mother, who Channel 2 Action News is not identifying, said the shooting happened two Sundays ago at her home on Gilleland Extension in Gainesville.
She said strangers showed up to the party as it was winding down.
“WIth no kind of manners, just serving themselves food, drinks,” she said.

Around 1:30 a.m., she says she asked them to leave and they got upset. That’s when she says a bullet grazed her head and knocked her to the ground.
“I don’t remember when the shot went out,” she said. “I remember laying on the ground and just screaming. My kids thought I was dead. Everyone thought I was dead.
She said she blacked out on the way to the hospital.
The Hall County Sheriff’s Office said they are investigating, but so far, there are no updates or an arrest in the case.
The victim said she can’t make sense of the crime and she wants the people responsible caught.
“I hope they get whoever did it,” she said. “I don’t want this to happen to somebody else.”
Deputies are still looking for the shooters.
