A mother and her two young children have been identified after a devastating shooting that left a four-year-old girl dead and her mother and toddler sister fighting for their lives.
Police say officers were called to a house after reports of a domestic dispute turned deadly.
When they arrived, they found 27-year-old Brianna Johnson and her two daughters, Harmoni Reed, four, and two-year-old Rhythm Reed, suffering from gunshot wounds, as reported by Need To Know.

Harmoni tragically died from her injuries, while her mother and younger sister were rushed to hospital in a critical condition, according to police and local reports.
Investigators allege the girls’ father, Trudale Reed during an argument outside the home on Traci Lynn Drive in Jacksonville, Florida, before fleeing the scene in a stolen vehicle.
He has since been arrested and charged in connection with the attack, police confirmed.
The shocking incident prompted an outpouring of grief online, with friends and family launching a GoFundMe in Brianna Johnson’s name, describing their heartbreak and asking for support as the family faces “unimaginable loss”.
The fundraiser says it is intended to help with medical costs, funeral expenses, and ongoing care for the surviving child.
Tributes have also been shared across social media, with many describing the case as “devastating” and sending prayers to the family.
Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
