BROCKTON, Mass. (AP) - Members of a Brockton family say they believe a stray bullet entered their home and grazed a 3-year-old boy’s leg during a shootout in broad daylight.
Police responded to reports of gunfire at about 1 p.m. Saturday, near the end of a peace rally at City Hall a few blocks away. Authorities say they’re looking for suspects in two vehicles who reportedly were shooting at each other.
Relatives of the boy told The Brockton Enterprise that he was crying after the shootout and they thought he was just scared, but they noticed blood on his pants. They say he is going to be fine. His name hasn’t been disclosed.
Police say they’re not sure whether the boy was shot, and doctors will make that determination.
The shooting remains under investigation.
