Police say a 9-year-old boy shot and wounded a 15-year-old boy over the weekend on Detroit's east side.
The department said in a crime report Tuesday that the teen was walking Saturday evening when he noticed the boy on a front porch.
The teen reported the boy fired at him, striking him in the body. Sgt. Eren Stephens says Tuesday the teen was treated and released.
Stephens says a 16-year-old girl was babysitting the 9-year-old at the time of the shooting. Stephens says authorities are trying to determine why the teen was shot and they're getting conflicting information in their investigation about how the child got the gun.
Stephens says investigators in the department's Eastern District planned to discuss the case with juvenile services officials to determine how to proceed.
