Little Girl Shot--Mistaken for Skunk

I wish I was shocked to read just now that a young man in Pennsylvania took out his gun and plugged an eight-year-old girl dressed Halloween in a black costume with a white slash.  He reportedly thought, or was told, she was a skunk. 
According to the statement, Grant then retrieved a shotgun from the home. While his mother shined a flashlight at what they believed was a skunk, Thomas fired the gun, striking the still unidentified girl in the shoulder and abdomen.
The girl was flown by helicopter about 30 miles to Pittsburgh Children's Hospital, where she underwent surgery and where police say she remains in critical condition.
