On Sunday, a young woman pregnant with her first child was shot in the head in Brooklyn.

According to police, the unborn child is expected to survive, but 19-year-old Tytianna Sparks had to be rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

Her mother, Ruth Sparks, said that she got the news that her daughter had been shot while she was shopping for gifts for a baby shower that was supposed to be held later this month. She said that her daughter was conscious before being taken into surgery and that the baby was in good condition.

“It was okay,” Sparks said of Tytianna. “She’s doing good. She was moving and everything.”

What’s more, Sparks claimed that her daughter was not the intended target of the shooting, saying, “It’s crazy. She was innocent, she was definitely innocent.”

Tytianna’s sister, Corinne Sparks, confirmed her mother’s account that Tytianna and the baby were alright.

“When I got there they said she’s conscious, she’s all right,” Corinne said. “The baby’s all right and God is good because it could’ve been the other way around. It could’ve been her and the baby dead.”

Police are now searching for the shooter in this case.
