Shocking moment: 6-year-old Georgia girl brutally attacked during DoorDash delivery



A six-year-old girl was attacked during a DoorDash delivery while riding a pink scooter outside her home in Georgia.

Khalani Ogletree was playing alone in the Eagle’s Brook community on Saturday night when a 16-year-old DoorDash driver delivering a pizza to a neighbor’s house shot her with a gel blaster gun and shouted profanities in the unprovoked attack.

The frightened little girl cried and ran into the house to get to safety. After the ordeal, she told local WSB-TV news, “They called me a failure and called me names.”

Neighbor Nick Patel, who witnessed the attack, said he saw four men in a white car – one got out to deliver the pizza – before driving off, ignoring all stop signs, and saw the girl crying and running to her mother.

“I don’t know what these guys are doing. She’s just looking at them, so I think they’re making fun of her, laughing at her or something,” Patel said.

Patel said he later saw the car speed away, go through a roundabout and ignore stop signs.

Henry County Police were able to locate the car and have since announced that the 16-year-old who shot the young girl with a gel blaster gun will now face charges of simple assault.

According to the news agency, he was later handed over to his mother after his arrest.

The teenager has been charged, but Ogletree’s mother, Shaterica Ellis, would like to see the others involved charged as well, admitting that her daughter is shaken by the incident.

“She was crying so much. I didn’t know what the problem was at first,” she said.

Khalani’s mother, Shaterica Ellis, said her daughter is devastated by the incident and believes all other teenagers involved should be held accountable.

Patel is disturbed by what he has seen in his neighborhood. He agrees with Ellis and believes all four should be held accountable.

“It’s just a little kid. If you’re going to do it, do it to an adult, not a baby or a toddler,” he said. “I think all four of them — no matter what the one guy was accused of — all four of them should do it.”

Ellis said that now when she sees a white car, she fears for her family. “I can’t believe they would do something like that to a six-year-old child.”

“I don’t know what these guys are doing. She’s just looking at them, so I think they’re making fun of her, laughing at her or something,” Patel said.

DoorDash issued a statement to the local news station claiming that the delivery driver was not a “Dasher.”

“To be clear, this person was not a Dasher and we have disabled the abused account,” they wrote, in part.

Gel blaster guns are considered the “kid-friendly” version of paintball guns, but are illegal in New York State.

Their pellets are gel-based and made of non-toxic polymer water beads and have less impact than those of a Nerf gun or other pressurized water guns.
