CACHE COUNTY — A 14-year-old girl who was allegedly shot in the head by a pair of teen boys remains in critical condition, but Friday her family said Deserae Turner is no longer in a medically induced coma.

The Turner family released this statement Friday, thanking the community for their support and offering an update on Deserae’s condition.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to family, friends, community members, and all of those we may not have met. The kindness our family has been shown is beyond measure. We are in awe of the number of people who have reached out to us, thought of us, and included our family in their prayers.

    Wish they would name the suspects in this case.

    Seems most media is now reporting that the Sarah Dunsey “sex trafficking” story was a hoax. You guys should do an updated story on it.
