Teen Bully Opens Fire at 12-Year-Old Girl Who Ran as She Carried Her Baby Brother

A 12-year-old girl had to run for her life while clutching her 11-month-old baby brother when a teen bully opened fire at her as she was in their front yard.

Rubi Olivas scrambled to get to safety while her mom, Rosa Olivas, went outside to check the commotion. Rosa was hit on her upper right thigh by one of the 14 bullets from the boy's gun and broke her femur. She has undergone surgery but the doctors told her the bullet will have to remain in her body.

The incident, which took place in Kansas, Missouri, was captured by the Olivas' front porch security camera, which showed the teenager running towards Rubi on their lawn. According to KCTV, it's still unknown how long the boy was waiting to spot Rubi.

The family knows the teen bully

Rosa's co-workers opened a GoFundMe for her to help with the medical bills. The mother also wrote a message in the fundraiser and said that they are fortunate no one from her children was hurt.

Her daughter, however, was indeed the target of the bully thus they are planning to move houses once she is discharged from the hospital.

"There is zero chance of us going back," Rosa said.

In a statement to the cops, Rosa said that they know the boy who attacked her daughter and he has since been arrested. However, the police did not divulge any details of the teen bully to the press since he is a juvenile. His case is being handled by the local juvenile court.

Rosa also reminded parents, whose children might have had encounters with bullies, to reach out and talk to the school to ensure the safety of their son or daughter. The mother believes that a guardian angel was keeping watch over her children that's why they were spared. She hailed her daughter as a champ and a hero for holding on to her brother amid the attack.

Bully's victim will never be the same

Meanwhile, a teen bullying victim did not have the same outcome as the Olivas as a 13-year-old girl from Hull in the U.K. will never be the herself again after she suffered a brain injury at the hands of a bully on the school playground.

Neeka Atkinson was dropped head first on the concrete ground and lost consciousness. She was rushed to the hospital after the attack, where doctors determined that she developed a blood clot in her brain and had to undergo surgery, per The Sun.

When she woke up from her two-week coma, Atkinson could no longer speak and her body's left side became paralyzed. Her family said she is fighting every day as she faces a long rehabilitation.

Atkinson's teen bully has been arrested while the school community protested at the Archbishop Sentamu Academy. Apparently, more than one child, who had been the instigator of bullying, was suspended in the school this year.  The school, however, said it can't comment on the matter as the police are still investigating.
