SALISBURY, N.C. (WBTV) – The newly released autopsy from the North Carolina Medical Examiner shows that a Salisbury girl sustained 20 gunshot wounds when she was shot and killed in her sleep.
On Dec. 4, 2016, 7-year-old A’yanna Allen was shot while sleeping on Harrel Street. That night she was sleeping in the same bed as her grandmother. Her grandmother, Shirley Robinson, was shot in the leg and was released from the hospital later that day. A’yanna was pronounced dead on scene.PREVIOUS STORY: 7-year-old NC girl killed, grandmother injured after shots fired into home
Robinson said someone shot through a bedroom window.
The medical examiner’s report states that there were 20 gunshot injuries documented in the autopsy. Gunshot wounds were found in the child’s head, torso and extremities.
The medical examiner was reportedly not able to determine which wounds were entrance or exit wounds based on the characteristics of the injuries. No sequence of shots could be determined, either.PREVIOUS STORY: Funeral held for NC girl killed when gunshots fired into home as she slept
