ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Albuquerque police say a 9-year-old is hospitalized in good condition after being shot.

Police say the girl’s father told police his daughter was wounded by a ricochet Wednesday when another person walking through an apartment complex pulled out a handgun and it malfunctioned, causing it to fire into concrete.

According to police, detectives will work to try to determine the identity of the person who discharged the gun.
