3-Year-Old Shot with Taser by SDPD Officer
A 3-year-old girl suffered a minor puncture wound Friday when she was struck by a barb from an electric stun gun fired by a patrolman running down a fleeing parole violator in the area near the Southland Plaza Shopping Center.
Officers were chasing the man through the shopping center in the 600 block of Saturn Boulevard when one of them discharged the non-lethal compliance device in an attempt to stop him shortly after 3 p.m., according to San Diego police.

Medics treated the child at the scene. Her parents displayed an "understanding" attitude about the mishap while interacting with police, Brown said.
