8-year-old grazed by gunfire into Dallas apartments
DALLAS - An 8-year-old was grazed by a bullet after someone fired shots into multiple Dallas apartment units early Sunday morning.
Police said the shooting happened just after 4:30 a.m. at an apartment complex in the 10000 block of Royal Lane.
Responding officers found an 8-year-old who had been grazed by one of the bullets. The child was treated at the scene by Dallas Fire-Rescue crews.
Some witnesses reported it was random gunfire into the air but other reported it was intentional gunfire into multiple apartments.
The shooter has not yet been identified and remains at-large.
This happened about an hour after a 1-year-old was fatally shot and his 20-year-old uncle was shot multiple times in a South Dallas home in a “targeted” shooting.
"In addition to this horrific act, across town an 8-year-old in the area of Royal was grazed by a bullet as a result of random gunfire in the air. This senseless violence will stop. We are determined it will," Dallas Police Chief Renee Hall said.
