A neighbor in the area said she was in her home when she heard people yelling that a baby was shot.

She said she went outside and people were running away as if a shooting had just happened.

"You could hear a lady yelling 'can you call the ambulance, a baby got shot,'" she said. "You watch small children play, you never want to watch small children leave off in a stretcher."
