The incident took place at a house on Green Marsh Court just before 10 p.m., DeKalb police said. Officers were called after getting reports of a person shot. They found the boy injured at the scene and he was taken to the hospital, where he was considered stable.

According to the initial investigation, police said a car drove by the house and someone fired multiple shots at it. Officials have not released further details.
