Her injury is serious, according to a police report. But her injuries weren’t believed to life-threatening, said Sgt. Joe Tedeschi of the Springfield Police Division said at the scene of the shooting.

Printz was transported to the Springfield Regional Medical Center, the police report says.

“She was shot in the head but it doesn’t appear it was any kind of a penetrating wound,” Tedeschi said. “She was very fortunate.”

It appears only one shot was fired, he said.
