A 2-year-old girl is in critical condition after being hit by a stray bullet in Tennessee

Ariel Salaices is fighting for her life in a children's hospital in Knoxville, Tenn.

Two swings undulated in the gentle afternoon breeze as 2-year-old Ariel Salaices prepared to zip down the slide in her family’s backyard in northeastern Tennessee.

Bikes were strewn around the wooden swing set, with forest-green seats that matched the trees surrounding the modest home in Mountain City, Tenn., near the borders of Virginia and North Carolina.

The peaceful childhood scene — which found Ariel playing with her older brother on March 15 — was punctured when a stray bullet came whizzing into the backyard, her family said. It ricocheted off a metal post and became lodged in the back of the 2-year-old’s head.

She fell from the slide and went running to her father, collapsing outside the house. Her father collected her from the ground and rushed her to a nearby emergency services unit, as Ariel’s aunt recounted on Facebook and on a GoFundMe page soliciting donations for the family.

6. A tiny body like hers doesn't hold up to bullets too well.

Find the stupid mofo who did this a and lock him up.
