BALTIMORE — Police say two small children were injured Monday after being struck by stray bullets from a nearby shooting while wading in a baby pool in West Baltimore, WBAL-TV reported.
Neighbors told WBAL-TV that the toddlers were playing in the wading pool outside an apartment at about 10 p.m. when they were hit.
The children, ages 2 and 3, were taken to Johns Hopkins Children's Center. The injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, police said
One child was shot in the torso and the other in the leg, according to authorities. Police have made no arrests.
Witnesses told WBAL-TV that the shooting was up the street, away from where the children were playing, and that as many as 11 shots were fired.
This is horrible. It is horrible that children would be hit by stray bullets ever...but my question is...why in the world were a 2 and 3 year old in a wading pool in front of an apartment at 10:00 pm?!!!
Maybe I'm just grouchy today because Ethan has the pukies but shouldn't these babies have been in bed?! Okay, I'm done...forgive my mini tirade.
