WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Police in Florida say an 11-year-old girl and her 36-year-old mother are dead following a shooting.

West Palm Beach Sgt. Dennis Hardiman tells local news outlets that officers responding to reports of gunfire on Thursday night found Kaladaa Crowell dead inside a house. Her daughter was taken to a hospital where she died early Friday.
