Hero Girl Emerges From Surgery

Southfield (WWJ)  -- 7 year old Alexis Goggins emerged from successful surgery on Friday.   The first-grader at Campbell Elementary School in Detroit had surgeries on her right arm, eye and jaw.  Doctors on Friday inserted pins in Alexis' right arm, removed her right eye and wired her jaw shut.  Police say Alexis Goggins was shot six times Sunday when she shielded her mother from an enraged ex-boyfriend. The ex-boyfriend is in police custody awaiting a preliminary exam next week.
 
A heroes fund has been set up for Alexis.  

Donations to the Alexis Goggins Hero Fund can be made to:

Her mother was shot twice.  She was treated and released.
