SAN ANTONIO (December 29, 2009)--A 2-year-old Bandera County girl who was shot in the back of the head on Christmas Day as her father was cleaning his gun has been moved out of intensive care and into the pediatric ward of University Hospital of San Antonio.
Her father was cleaning his gun when the gun discharged and a bullet went through a kitchen cabinet and hit Kalia, who was on the other side.
Her father, a former law enforcement officer, has not been charged.
The Bandera County Sheriff's Office said the shooting appeared to have been accidental.
Officials called it a Christmas miracle that the girl survived.
Her father told investigators he thought the gun was unloaded.

There is no such thing as an "empty gun". You treat every single gun as if it was loaded. I hope the little girl is ok. Blessings on the dad too. It's tragic but nobody deserves the pain of watching their child in pain.
