NBC 7’s Nicole Gomez spoke to two girls who said they were shot with BB guns in Eastlake.
Two girls who were shot by a BB gun as they walked home from school are hoping Chula Vista Police find the perpetrators.
“It went through her [my sisters] backpack, hit my arm, hit my stomach and hit her back,” said 12-year-old Brianna Field.
Field said she and her sister were walking home from Eastlake Middle School on Hunte Parkway Thursday afternoon when a car pulled up from behind them and started shooting.
“When it hit us, it made a big popping sound, so I thought it was more than just a BB gun and I look over at her [my sister] and she’s crying,” said Bella Budd.
The two girls still have scars on their bodies.
CVPD received multiple calls at around 3:45 p.m. near Eastlake Middle School. When they arrived at the scene, they found three kids who said they were shot by a BB gun. Subsequently, two other kids also contacted police saying they were also shot.
"If you were doing this as a joke because you’re shooting two vulnerable girls when we’re walking alone, it’s just not funny" Field said.
