“He was brought in by his mother,” the officer said.
It’s not clear where on his body the child was shot, but the officer said, “the mother walked him into the front” of the hospital.
While dispatch records listed the victim as a boy, a Dayton police report listed the victim as a girl.
Police later responded to Summit Square Drive, where the shooting may have happened. According to initial reports, the child may have been inside when shots fired outside entered a residence.
A 31-year-old woman was arrested in the 800 block of Summit Square on a preliminary child endangering charge and issued a summons to appear in court, according to an incident report.
The woman has not been formally charged and is not listed as an inmate on the Miami Valley Jails booking website.
