MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) --- A 19-year-old man and 10-year-old girl sustained serious injuries after being shot near 25th and Chambers Wednesday, Nov. 11. 

Police say they were shot just before noon.

And it was near 25^th & Chambers where investigators searched a black car.

His sister, Ella Pierce, told CBS 58 he was driving at the time.

She said he was shot in the neck, but was able to call family.

“You shouldn’t even be shooting nobody period," said Pierce. "Guns are for enemies and bastards, and by this little girl getting shot, she’s only 10. My little brother driving down the street, innocent bystander, he gets shot. It’s just too much stuff going on.”

The young girl and the man were taken to the hospital.
