The police continue the search, a mother takes care of her daughters who were injured while being run over by a car on New Year’s Eve

A mother of seven from Colombia is busy caring for her two injured children New Year’s Eve drive-by shooting. One of her two daughters is paralyzed from the waist down.

Tiana Hall stepped out of Nationwide Children’s Hospital for a moment to talk about what happened that night. Her two daughters, Starr, 13, and Amiyah, 10, went to a friend’s house that evening to get their hair braided.

Just before midnight, Tiana received a phone call.

“And I think he will wish me New Year’s Eve earlier,” she added.

But that wasn’t the call she answered.

“Me and my sister were shot,” Tiana said what she heard on the phone. “We need your help.”

Both girls were injured when someone fired shots into the house. The girls were inside. Tiana ran a few blocks away to her friend’s house.

“My 10-year-old is lying on the ground in the hallway and she said, ‘I love you, kiss me one last time,’” Tiana said. “I told her not to say that when I kissed her.”

The girls are already recovering. Starr was shot in the thigh. However, Amiyah has a longer road to recovery; doctors found that she was paralyzed from the waist down.

Police made no arrests. Tiana Hall has a message for whoever shot her children.

“I hate you,” she said. “You’re hurting more than just the person you don’t like right now.”

“Five seconds of anger changed my daughter’s entire life,” she said.
