WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) - A child is hospitalized in critical condition after a shooting at an apartment complex in North Carolina, police said Friday.

Winston-Salem Police Lt. Gregory Dorn says someone shot the child at an apartment on the city’s north side around 12:40 p.m., news sources reported.

Dorn said the child’s exact age will not be released until the child’s parents talk to police at the hospital. He said the child is in critical condition.



The Winston-Salem Journal reports that while Dorn didn’t say if anyone was in custody, he said investigators aren’t looking for suspects and have confined their investigation to the apartment where the child was shot.
