South Fulton police spokesperson Tori Cooper said officers found the child with a gunshot wound to the leg.
The child was taken to a nearby children’s hospital. Their condition was not released.
An investigation revealed the shooting followed a “large altercation” involving multiple people, Cooper said.
Several people were detained at the scene, and one woman was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, officials said. Her name was not released.
Authorities did not clarify the relationship between the child and the woman arrested.
