The shooting happened around 9 am at a home in Duffy Street in San Bernardino's Muscoy area on Friday, the sheriff's office told the media.
A neighbour said: "When they brought her out, she had a little patch right here over her chest. It didn't look like a big hole. They were pumping her as they put her in the ambulance."
