PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) - Three young Detroit-area children have been wounded after shots were fired from outside a home into a bedroom.

A caller reported that the shots came from a vehicle about 10:30 p.m. Saturday in Pontiac, northwest of Detroit, the Oakland County sheriff’s office said.

An 11-year-old girl was shot in the hip. A 7-year-old girl was wounded in her torso and a 10-month-old girl was shot in the buttocks. Each was listed in stable condition at a hospital.



Two other children and two adults were in the home but were not wounded.

Deputies found multiple shell casings outside the home. The shooting was under investigation.
