GARY, Ind. — A shooting in northwestern Indiana has killed a 4-year-old Gary boy and left his pregnant mother hospitalized with gunshot wounds, police said.
Gary police responding to reports of a shooting at a residence about 1 a.m. Monday found the wounded boy, who was pronounced dead at a hospital. The child's 27-year-old mother was hospitalized after being shot in the arm and suffering a graze wound to her face, WLS-TV reported.
