Shocking moment Georgia girl, 6, is horrifically attacked during DoorDash delivery
A six-year-old girl was attacked during a DoorDash delivery while riding a pink scooter outside her Georgia home.
Khalani Ogletree was playing by herself on Saturday night in the Eagle’s Brook community when a 16-year-old DoorDash driver making a pizza delivery at a neighbors house fired a gel blaster gun at her and slurred profanities in the unprovoked attack.
The terrified little girl was crying and ran into her house to safety. After the ordeal she told local WSB-TV News 'they called me a loser, and they said bad words to me.'
Neighbor Nick Patel, who witnessed the attack, said he saw four men in a white car - one got out to deliver the pizza - before they drove off blowing through the stop signs, and saw the girl crying and running to her mother.
'These guys, I don’t know what they’re doing. She’s just looking at them, so I think they’re making fun of her, laughing at her or something,' Patel said.

Neighbor Nick Patel's CCTV caught the moment the white car pulled up to Ogletree's house just before the shooting
Patel said that he later saw the car zoom off make a roundabout and blow through stop signs.
Henry County police tracked down the car, and officials have since said the 16-year-old who shot the young girl with a gel blaster gun is now facing charges of simple battery.
He was later released to his mother following his arrest, according to the news outlet.
While the teen was charged, Ogletree's mother, Shaterica Ellis, would like to see the others involved face charges too and admitted that her daughter was shaken by the incident.
'She was crying so bad. I didn't know what was the problem at first,' she said.

Khalani's mother Shaterica Ellis said that her daughter was shaken by the incident and believes all the other teens involved should be held accountable
Disturbed by what he saw in his neighborhood, Patel agrees with Ellis and believes all four should be held accountable.
'It's just a little kid. If you are going to do it - do it to a grown up not a baby or a toddler,' he said. 'I think all four of them - whatever the one guy got charged with - all four of them should.'
Ellis said now when she sees a white car, she gets fearful for her family. 'I can't believe they would do this to a six-year-old child.'
'These guys, I don’t know what they’re doing. She’s just looking at them, so I think they’re making fun of her, laughing at her or something,' Patel said

DoorDash made a statement to the local news outlet claiming that the delivery person was not a 'Dasher.'
'To be clear, this individual was not a Dasher, and we have deactivated the account that was wrongly used,' they wrote, in part.
Gel blaster guns are known as the 'kid-friendly' version of paintball guns, but are illegal in New York State.
Their pellets are gel-based made from non-toxic polymer water beads, and have less of an impact than a nerf gun or other pressurized water guns.
