A 14-year-old girl shot in the head Tuesday afternoon at a home in Arlington has died after spending more than 24 hours on life support. A family member said she passed away with her loved ones by her side.
Her 34-year-old mother is in jail on various charges connected to her death, including aggravated manslaughter.
The family is devastated and asking for prayers. A relative created an online fundraising account to help with medical and funeral expenses.
A relative, who asked not to be named, identified the victim as Ayva Guthrie, who was a straight-A student at Sandalwood High School, where she plays basketball. Ayva had been very excited about her half-sister’s recent birth. A neighbor described Ayva as a friendly, sweet girl.
Ayva was shot at a home on Wedgefield Boulevard in Arlington Tuesday evening. While officially the shooting has not been classified as accidental, sources said they believed the gun was not properly stored.

SSG Robert Mark Odom Florida is Truly Beautiful but the Racism, Gun Culture, And the Bizarre Religiosity that I saw during my Many Schools there has always bothered Me.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - I read the story. It is sad that it happened. Some one here broke one of the 4 basic tenets of Gun Safety. Namely; "Keep your booger hook off the bang switch until the target is acquired". My question is what does "Racism, Gun Culture, And the Bizarre Religiosity " have to do with with this story? Not a DAMN Thing. Your personal opinion of the "Sunshine State" is exactly that and had no business being included in a story of a young woman being killed accidentally by Her Mother. "Never let a crisis go to waste" HMMNN?
