Little girl blatantly shot

[Joe the Destroyer]

Someone posted a video on this website a few months back to a rather shocking movie.  I think the thread had to do with child deaths in movies, and someone posted a video where a girl is blatantly shot in the chest by some guy.  I think she was holding an ice cream cone.  God, what movie was that?

Possibly "Assault On Precinct 13".

Possibly "Assault On Precinct 13".

Yeah, it's definitely Assault on Precinct 13.
The original John Carpenter version.  Not the crappy remake.
Whenever I think of the original film, this is the scene that always pops into my head because it's so shocking.  I mean, shooting an innocent girl in the chest.  That's pretty messed up.
And if I'm not mistaken, she's played by Kim Richards of the "Witch Mountain" movies.

Here's the scene:

This one's already solved, but the discussion brought to mind the shooting of the singing-telegraph girl in Clue, which took me totally by surprise and got me to laugh out loud for much the same reasons.

While I, too, know that the original problem has been solved, I, too, would like to comment on the original film. While the girl's death is the first unexpected death in the film, it is not last. Carpenter is good at playing with the audience's expectations. Just when you expect a character in the film to survive, Carpenter unexpectedly kills off the character. And that is good film making on Carpenter's part.
