Great. One of my biggest phobias is being robbed while at home. These type of crimes are, unfortunately, rising…

An assault rifle-toting gunman shot a young child during a home invasion robbery in Kansas City early this morning.

According to police, the robber shot the child when he apparently fired blindly into a darkened bedroom. The child, who was hit in the foot, is expected to recover.

The robbery happened about 12:30 a.m. at a home in the 8000 block of East 75th Street.

Investigators said the child’s father, a Kansas City School District principal, was awake and watching television when the robber entered. The victim’s wife and children were asleep in various bedrooms.
