WASHINGTON — D.C. police are investigating a shooting in Southeast.
Police received a call Saturday evening at 8:20 p.m. for reports of a shooting. When they arrived at the 3400 block of 13th Place, they located a 10-year-old boy suffering from gunshot wounds.
The child was with his mom when two individuals opened fire and began shooting at each other. Consequently, the child was hit in the leg by a stray bullet. Officers do not believe the little boy was the intended target.
