Patrol officers were immediately dispatched to the scene, where they confirmed that a child had been injured as a result of the gunfire.
Upon arrival, first responders swiftly rendered aid to the juvenile victim. The child was then transported by medical personnel to LeBonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, where they are currently listed in stable condition. Out of respect for the child’s privacy and ongoing investigative needs, further details regarding the victim’s identity or the nature of the injury are being withheld at this time.

At this time, no arrests have been made, and no suspect description is being released, pending further developments.
