    A 11-year-old girl who was shot seven times survived.

    Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said during a press conference that even after 33-year-old Bryan Riley was arrested Sunday morning, he was so aggressive that he tried to wrestle a gun from police as he lay on his hospital gurney.

Judd said Riley’s girlfriend told authorities Riley had repeatedly told her that he could communicate directly with God.
