Police were called just after 11 p.m. to a shooting reported outside an apartment in the 4500 block of Germantown Pike, according to a Dayton Police Department report.
“My son’s not breathing … Come get my baby. … They shot him in his head,” a woman cried to a 911 dispatcher following the shooting. “Please help my baby, get here now.”
She said her son was shot outside, but that she did not know who shot him.
A second woman called 911 around the same time to report hearing six gunshots in the area around Germantown Pike.
This is the second shooting reported in the area this month.
On Jan. 5, a woman was shot just down the road in the 4400 block of Germantown Street after she reportedly damaged a man’s vehicle with a golf club.
The woman was beating on the man’s door when he thought he heard a gunshot, so he shot through the door, hitting the woman, according to a DPD report.
The woman, whose injuries were not life-threatening, later was arrested on preliminary criminal damaging and aggravated menacing charges.
