STOCKTON (CBS13) - Police have arrested three people in connection with the shooting of a Stockton girl.

The shooting happened on October 1 in the 400 block of E. Clay Street, an area known for having a high crime rate. Ten-year-old Michelle was playing in the backyard of a home when she was struck in the back by a stray bullet, a family member told CBS13.

At least two other houses were also shot, but no one else was hurt.

On Tuesday, police detectives arrested Emilio Negron, 22, and two 17-year-old males. All three are known gang members, say Stockton police.

Police thanked everyone who submitted tips in the investigation.
