4-Year-Old Injured After Shots Fired At Detroit Home

(CBS DETROIT) - A 4-year-old boy has been hospitalized after shots were fired at a Detroit home while the family members were asleep inside.

Detroit's 8th precinct commander, Brian Harris, told WWJ that he is unsure if this incident was a drive-by shooting, but the shot fired did come from outside of the home.

This happened at a home in the 18400 block of Stout Street between Pickford Street and Clarita Avenue.

According to police, the bullets were from a high-powered rifle.

Two adults and four children were in the home at the time of the shooting, but the 4-year-old boy was the only one injured. He is in critical condition at a local hospital.

Police will continue to investigate as there is currently no suspect or motive.

WWJ reported that Harris mentioned police were called to this home for a disturbance in February.
