An 8-year-old is fighting for his life in the hospital after he was shot inside of his home in Virginia Beach Tuesday while playing video games.

“You’ve ruined our lives,” Emily Rigsby, the mother of Landyn Davis, said.

Rigsby and Steven Davis said thier lives will never be the same after someone shot into their home and a bullet hit their son in the head.

“We’re just asking everybody for prayers,” Rigsby said. “All the prayers we can get for him.”

Landyn’s parents said they were at a wrestling meet Tuesday night while their daughter was at home with Landyn.

They later received a call from their daughter screaming.

Not knowing what was going on, Rigsby called 911 and the two ran back to their home on Peele Court.

That’s where they saw red and blue flashing lights, bullet holes into their home and learned their son had been shot.

“We don’t stir up any problems to have that happen to our house especially for my son to be the one that gets hurt out of everything,” Davis said. “He was just sitting in the room playing the video game.”
