Delane said that he hoped his daughter would still be able to achieve her dream of becoming a dancer or cheerleader.

‘Why would my house get shot up?’ Delane asked. ‘My daughter don’t know. I can’t explain that to her. As the father, you’re supposed to protect the kids.

‘She’s healing very fast. The last time I checked on her she was breathing on her own. She was doing great,’ Delane said speaking of her recovery.

The family have also claimed that the police did not arrive until 7 am – four hours after the incident occurred.

An investigation is now underway to examine why the police response was so delayed.

‘I am aware and have concerns regarding the delayed response time in this incident and have initiated an Internal Affairs investigation. I ask the city to continue to pray for the child’s full recovery and assist in providing information that would lead to the arrest of the suspect or suspects responsible,’ Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said in a statement.
