Police say a 4-year-old girl has been injured after a home invasion in Dallas.

Dallas police responded to 410 South Walton Walker Boulevard at about 4:20 Thursday morning to find the girl injured with a gunshot wound to her arm.

Police said two armed men forced their way into an apartment through a door and a window and a fight broke out between adults in the apartment and the two men.

During the struggle, police said one of the men's weapons fired, shooting through a wall and wounding the girl as she slept in her bedroom. Guiterrez said multiple shots were fired during the altercation.

The two men believed to be involved in the incident fled the apartment and are at large.
