'Baby Shark' Stuffed Toy Possibly Saves Wisc. Toddler’s Life After Stray Bullet Rips Through Wall

A sleeping Wisconsin toddler survived a shooting after a stray bullet from a gunfight outside went into her bedroom and hit her Baby Shark stuffed animal, police said.

A news release by Madison police says the shooting was the result of a gunfight that resulted in no deaths or injuries. Authorities recovered 45 shell casings from the scene, the release states.

No arrests have been made and police have not identified any suspects.

The toddler’s mother, who identified herself only by her first name, Tanice, told NBC15 the stuffed animal was five to ten inches from her 3-year-old daughter’s head.

“If the bullet would’ve came a couple more inches, it could’ve targeted her,” said Tanice, who also said she felt “lucky” but scared.

Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain said the 45 shell casings recovered “may very well be a record number of shell casings found after one incident of gun violence,” CNN reports.
