Police soon after arriving at the scene reportedly took a suspect into custody, according to witnesses.
[A witness, a resident at the apartment complex, told Fox 4‘s Natalie Solis that he heard what he assumed were “fireworks” then saw his 7-year-old neighbor walking across the lot with blood gushing from his face.
