ATLANTA (AP) — Police say a 6-month-old child was shot to death in Atlanta.
The shooting happened near a convenience store Monday afternoon in the northwest section of the city.
The child’s mother told news outlets that she was driving near the store when she came upon a gunfight between people in two cars.
She said a bullet traveled into the back of her car and hit the baby. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the child was pronounced dead at Grady Memorial Hospital.
It’s unclear if anyone has been arrested.
