SAN ANTONIO—A 2-year-old Bandera County girl continues to recover after she was shot in the back of the head on Christmas Day as her father was cleaning his gun.
Kalia Wallace is out of University Hospital’s intensive care unit and has been moved to the pediatric ward.
Her father was cleaning his gun when a bullet went through a kitchen cabinet and hit Kalia, who was on the other side. Her father, a former law enforcement officer, has not been charged. The Bandera County Sheriff’s Office says the shooting appeared to be accidental.
Officials had called it a Christmas miracle that the girl survived. Her father told investigators he thought the gun was unloaded when he was cleaning it.
