A 2-year-old boy is fighting for his life after he was shot while in a car with his mother at a Houston park, according to Houston Police Executive Assistant Chief Troy Finner.
The shooting took place at about 5:25 p.m. Saturday in a parking lot at Haviland Park, where a party was underway, said Finner.At least one suspect got out of a gray car and started firing at a red car in the parking lot, witnesses said, according to Finner.The boy, who was not named, was in critical condition on Saturday, Finner said."It makes no sense," he continued. "Anyone can see there's families and kids in this park.
Finner had a message for the suspect, who fled the scene: "The best thing you can do is turn yourself in because I guarantee you, we're gonna get you in custody.""What if it was your 2-year-old baby," he said. "Wouldn't you want somebody to have enough courage to speak up?"
