Janae Hairston was fatally shot in the garage of her parents’ home on Piper Bend Drive, downtown, in Columbus, Ohio.
The girl, Janae Hairston, died Wednesday at a Columbus hospital about an hour after she was shot in the garage of her parents’ home on Piper Bend Drive.
In the 8-minute 911 call, Hairston’s mother tells an operator that her husband accidentally shot her daughter. The hysterical mother calls for an ambulance while a man in the background repeatedly says, “breathe, baby.”
“My husband made a mistake and shot her because he thought she was an intruder,” says the mother. “She was in our garage and my husband just didn’t know what was going on. Oh my God.”

Mother
The mother says she believes the teenager was shot in the chest by her. Both parents can be heard asking what the girl was doing in the garage.
Police arrived at the home about six minutes after the call was made.
