WORCESTER (CBS) – Worcester Police say a 3-year-old may have been hit by gunfire when a car she was in was shot at while driving down Harding Street on Thursday night.
Police said they received reports of gunshots in front of Crompton Park at 8:30 p.m. A car with a mother at the wheel and four children in the car had been shot at. A 3-year-old in the back seat had a minor injury to her leg. Police said they are not sure if the child was hit by a bullet.
"She sustained some injuries as a result of the gunfire," said Worcester Police Lt. Sean Murtha. "Not sure of the exact manner, whether it was a bullet that grazed her or whether it was metal knocked loose from the car that caused the injury."
