The shooter killed an 11-year-old boy and struck four other children and an adult. Police Chief Terri Theetge told reporters Sunday that an occupant of a sedan fired 22 rounds “in quick succession” into a crowd of children just before 9:30 p.m. Friday on the city’s West End. A 53-year-old woman was hit along with the boy who died, three other boys and a 15-year-old girl. One victim remained hospitalized in stable condition.
