A 9-year-old is recovering after being shot in what's being investigated as a gang-related drive-by shooting in Fort Worth Monday night.
Fort Worth police said they were called to the shooting on the 5000 block of Vinson Street at 10:23 p.m. where they found a child had been injured.
Police were seen at the scene placing evidence markers on the ground by two parked cars and looking at the windows of a home. From the number of evidence markers on the ground, it appears roughly two dozen shots may have been fired.
The child was taken to Cook Children's Medical Center in good condition. Further information about the child's injuries or where they were when they were struck by the gunfire is not immediately clear.
