Stray bullets flying on a north Omaha street struck and killed a 5-year-old girl Wednesday morning as she ate breakfast inside her home.

Payton Benson was finishing breakfast when someone in a car fired a gun at another person running on 45th Street near Emmet Street, a relative said.

The shooting was reported about 9:45 a.m. Payton was unresponsive on the way to the hospital.
