8-Year-Old Boy Shot in the Head While Looking at Christmas Lights

An 8-year-old Oklahoma boy remains in the hospital after he was shot in the head while he was looking at Christmas lights with his family.

Nichole Groshong was making food deliveries for DoorDash around 8 p.m. on Dec. 10 in Lawton, Oklahoma — approximately 90 miles southwest of Oklahoma City. In the car with the mother were her two young sons and their grandmother. While making DoorDash deliveries, the family would also stop to look at Christmas lights in the neighborhood.

The mom put the car in reverse while looking at Christmas lights when suddenly gunshots rang out.

“It sounded like somebody was throwing fireworks at the car,” Groshong told KFOR-TV. “Their grandma was like, ‘They’re shooting at us, go, go, go.’ So I threw it in drive, and I started getting out of there.”

Zachariah Bannister was shot in the head while sitting in the backseat with his brother. The boy had just celebrated his eighth birthday just days before he was shot. (Read more from “8-Year-Old Boy Shot in the Head While Looking at Christmas Lights” HERE)
