CLEVELAND

Family members say a 10-year-old girl critically injured in April in an Ohio restaurant shooting by her father that killed her mother and her sister has died.

A Cleveland-area hospice has released a family statement saying Kayla Allen died Tuesday.

Police say Kayla was shot April 12 when her dad, Kevin Allen, killed his wife and their other 10-year-old daughter with a shotgun at a Cracker Barrel in the Cleveland suburb of Brooklyn.

Police shot and killed him just outside the restaurant.

Kayla had been hospitalized in critical condition for about a month before her condition worsened.

She was moved into hospice care May 11.

Kevin Allen’s wife told police in a 911 call before the shooting she had just told him during a birthday dinner she was leaving him.
