4 year old who was supposedly shot dead by her brother was actually killed by their father

Remember yesterday the Police in Philadelphia investigating a shooting said that a 4 year old girl was shot in the face by her 5 year old brother when they were playing with a gun? Well, they have now found out that the girl wasn't killed by her brother as it was claimed yesterday but by her father who ran away after the incident occurred.

Their mum was living with her boyfriend, who is the father of her children Maurice 'Stephon' Phillips.
.

The girl, whose name has not been released, was shot around 2.25pm on Saturday and was pronounced dead at the scene five minutes later after Emergency services arrived.

Police say a semiautomatic pistol was recovered inside the home.
