DETROIT -- A 7-year-old-girl is being hailed as an "angel from heaven" and a hero for jumping in front of an enraged gunman, who pumped six bullets into the child as she used her body as a shield to save her mother's life.

Alexis Goggins, a first-grader at Campbell Elementary School, is in stable condition at Children's Hospital in Detroit recovering from gunshot wounds to the eye, left temple, chin, cheek, chest and right arm.

Girl, 7, shot 6 times saving mom

That's amazing. What a brave little girl. Most adults wouldn't consider such a thing.

I'm crying. What a brave and special little girl. I hope that some of the rags like people magazine and some news shows (Barbara Walters for example) profile this little angel rather than selfish shrews like Paris Hilton.

Why is it that news helicopters hover over her house when she is going to jail and it's all over CNN, MSNBC and the big networks but this story did not get any coverage on national news?

I hope the gunman gets raped, stabbed, and eaten by a dog. What an unspeakable crime to shoot a little girl.
