MATTAPAN - Boston police are still searching for the person who shot a child in Mattapan Sunday evening.
It happened shortly before 8:30 p.m. at a house on Cummins Highway.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found the victim, a young boy, suffering from a gunshot wound to his left leg.
His parents told police he was walking into the living room when the shot entered the home through a window.
A car parked outside the home was also hit in the gunfire. There was damage to the front windshield and left driver's side window.
