Sinai Miller, 9, was shot in the leg on the afternoon of Feb. 3 when she left her apartment to meet with other girls in her troop to start delivering cookies. “We have been overwhelmed with the outpouring of community support following this senseless act,” Girl Scouts of Central Indiana CEO Deborah Hearn Smith told the [_Indy Star_.](http://www.indystar.com/story/news/2015/02/17/wounded-girl-scout-troop-overwhelmed-cookie-orders/23552491/) Sinai will now be a top seller. But the generosity hasn’t ended there. Because so many orders came in under Sinai’s name, dozens of people have volunteered to help the troop deliver the cookies. “The challenge then became how to get those cookies delivered,” Smith said. “\[Monday\] evening, dozens of volunteers from the four Amazon fulfillment centers in the Indianapolis-area donated their time and expertise to help the troop sort, pack and ship cookie orders from the company’s Whitestown fulfillment center.” There have been no arrests related to the shooting. \[[_Indy Star_](http://www.indystar.com/story/news/2015/02/17/wounded-girl-scout-troop-overwhelmed-cookie-orders/23552491/)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3712339/girl-scout-shot-cookie-orders/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3712339/girl-scout-shot-cookie-orders/"},"headline":"Girl Scout Troop Flooded With Cookie Orders After Member is Shot","datePublished":"2015-02-17T20:29:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:16:55.832Z","description":"Dozens of volunteers had to help the troop make deliveries","url":"https://time.com/3712339/girl-scout-shot-cookie-orders/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Living","viral","U.S.","Girl Scouts","Good News"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9a5463be4a411844/69877fa135ba6f66cec071ce/160975415.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Laura Stampler","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/laura-stampler/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9a5463be4a411844/69877fa135ba6f66cec071ce/160975415.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Girl Scouts Sell Cookies From Street Trucks In New York City","caption":"Girl Scouts Sell Cookies From Street Trucks In New York City","creditText":"John Moore—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3712339/girl-scout-shot-cookie-orders/","name":"Girl Scout Troop Flooded With Cookie Orders After Member is Shot"}}]}] ```
