FOX News Radio’s Eben Brown reports:
A toddler girl, just over a year and a half old is recovering in a San Antonio, Texas, hospital from being shot in the back by a Mexican soldier.

But the Mexican military started firing on the family car when it apparently inadvertently came too close to a military transport carrying captured cartel members.�Others in the car were wounded.
Mexican authorities say the town is overrun by waring factions of the Gulf and Zeta cartels.
