GARY | A 12-year-old Gary girl who was shot in the face last month underwent surgery Tuesday, but doctors could not remove the bullet, her mother said.

Doctors at the University of Chicago's Comer Children's Hospital removed a fragment of a bullet lodged behind Arbriana Turner's left eye, but not the whole bullet, Loretta Tyler, Turner's mother, said Wednesday.

Turner came out of the surgery fine, but doctors have not determined yet whether the girl will lose sight in her right eye, Tyler said.

"I don't know what's going to happen," Tyler said.

Turner was shot June 28 in front of her house by two people involved in an argument with the girl's next-door neighbor, the girl's family and Lake Criminal Court documents state. A bullet entered the right side of her face and lodged behind her left eye.

Court documents indicate the two defendants are blaming each other for the shooting.

Gary residents John Fitzgerald Johnson, 22, and Keon Alexander Neely, 17, were charged last week in Lake Criminal Court with attempted murder, battery and criminal recklessness in Turner's shooting.

"We're happy about that," Tyler said of the charges.

Johnson and Neely are scheduled to appear together in Judge Thomas Stefaniak's court Tuesday.
