A boy in Oklahoma was critically injured after being shot in the head while his mother was delivering food and looking at Christmas lights with her family.

The 8-year-old, Zack, sustained severe injuries including a skull fracture and a brain blood clot.

Despite these challenges, his condition was showing signs of improvement. (Trending: Assault Weapons Ban Set To Take Effect, Here’s What To Know)

The alleged shooter, 30-year-old Jullian Phillips, reportedly had no connection to the family and is suspected of mistaking Zack’s identity.

Phillips was arrested and charged with shooting with intent to kill, and his court appearance has been scheduled for January 22.

“I drove away as fast as I could,” Nichole Groshong, Zack’s mother, said.

“My kids said they were okay, but Waylon then informed me that Zack was bleeding and he didn’t know from where so I drove as fast as I could to the hospital while my oldest kept his little brother awake all the way to the hospital and they said that was the best thing he could have done.”

“As of Sunday, Zack was still in the ICU,” according to the GoFundMe page.

“He has a blood clot by the skull fracture, they put him on blood thinners, and hopefully the medication breaks up the blood clot, or they may have to go remove it. I am praying the blood thinners work,” the GoFundMe page said.
